A suite of multi-dimensional riffs that use topological, performative, metapoetic, spatiotemporal, architectonic, kinaesthetic, choreographic, and observational strategies to conjure new forms of vision.

Since 1968 Peter Rose has made over thirty films, tapes, performances and installations. Many of the early works raise intriguing questions about the nature of time, space, light, and perception and draw upon Rose?s background in mathematics and on structuralist filmmaking. He subsequently became interested in language as a subject and in video as a medium and generated a substantial body of work that played with the feel and form of sense-a kind of intellectual comedy. Recent projects have involved a return to the landscape as subject and the mechanics of perception. His films, videos, installations, and performances have received extensive national and international exhibition, including shows at the Whitney Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, the Yokohama Museum of Art, and exhibition at the Fabric Workshop and Museum, the Rotterdam International Film Festival and the Film Society of Lincoln Center. His works have drawn support from an impressive roster of sources, including the National Endowment for the Arts, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, the Guggenheim, Independence and Pew Foundations, and have been the subject of a number of articles on contemporary media art. His work is included in several major international collections.
