Ulrike Rosenbach (1943, Hildesheim) studied sculpture at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf from 1964 to 1970 under Karl Bobeck, Norbert Kricke, and Joseph Beuys. Her studies with Joseph Beuys led to her first contacts with the happening and Fluxus scene of the 1970s. In 1971, Ulrike Rosenbach first became aware of video as an artistic means of expression through the exhibition prospect 71 at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf. In 1972 she began to work with video herself and produced, among other things, her first live video actions. Her early performances, in which she used closed circuit videos, found international acclaim and made her the most renowned German video artist. From 1973 to 1976, Rosenbach visited the United States several times where she had various teaching assignments, including on Feminist Art and Video Art at the California Institute of Arts (CalArts), Valencia, California. In 1976 she founded the School for Creative Feminism in Cologne, which existed until 1982. As a political artist, she actively advocates for equal rights for women artists in the international art world. In 1977 and 1987 she participated in documenta 6 and 8, and teaching assignments and guest professorships took her to various European institutions, including the Berlin University of the Arts, the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and the University of Utrecht. From 1989 to 2007, Rosenbach was professor of media art at the Saar College of Fine Arts in Saarbrücken, where she served as director from 1991 to 1993. Her work has received numerous international awards and grants and has been shown at major exhibitions all over the world. She is a member of the Association of German Artists and since 2016 a member of the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, Visual Arts Section. Ulrike Rosenbach lives and works near Cologne. (2024)
