After receiving her BFA from the University of the Arts, she connected with Moses Pendleton, founder of the MOMIX and Pilobolus dance companies, performing and teaching throughout the world with MOMIX. In 1997, she took a brief hiatus to give birth to her daughter. Returning to her career, she created and performed her own work in Philadelphia while working for Group Mo- tion and touring part time with MOMIX. 1998 brought Renee to NYC where she began working with Carolyn Dorfman. She has been working with Pilobolus since 2000, performing, creating, teaching, directing, associating and, most recently, coordinating residencies for the Pilobolus Institute.

Watson fiiii; Doctor of Fine Arts honoris causa It is a University of the Arts tradition that during its Commencement ceremony the institution bestows its highest honorary degree, the Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa, on one or more distinguished individuals. Honor- ary degrees are conferred honoris causa, "for the sake of honor." Honor- ary degrees are generally awarded for one of three reasons: To recognize extraordinary intellectual or artistic achievement; to honor service to the University and to the wider society; and to recognize men and women who might serve as examples to the institution's student body. The Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa, honors both the grantee and the spirit of the institution. Peggy Amsterdam, posthumously Peggy Amsterdam (1949-2009)

  • Rosalyn Drexler: the Greatest Show on Earth
    Garth Greenan Gallery 545 West 20th Street New York New York 10011 212 929 1351 www.garthgreenan.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Garth Greenan (212) 929-1351 [email protected] www.garthgreenan.com Rosalyn Drexler: The Greatest Show on Earth Woman Sawed in Half, 1989 Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to announce Rosalyn Drexler: The Greatest Show on Earth, an exhibition of paintings at 545 West 20th Street. Opening on Thursday, February 21, 2019, the exhibition will be the first in-depth showing of the artist’s work from the 1980s and 1990s. Long considered an overlooked era in Drexler’s oeuvre, this time period was one of significant maturation, outside of the artist’s storied work of the 1960s. In these paintings, Drexler takes a magnifying glass to the human condition. Touching on some favorite themes—most notably, medleys of love and violence—her narratives appear open-ended and surreal. Multiple characters enter these compositions, filling out the negative space she once carefully cherished. Moving away from simple pairings of couples scuffling about, Drexler captures increasingly complex scenes. Appropriating imagery from popular journals and other printed matter, Drexler transforms otherwise prosaic images by adding bright pigments and creating new contexts. Cutting reproductions from magazines, Drexler fixes her strategically selected images to canvas and overpaints the resulting collage, thereby eliminating the visual trace of the underlying, mechanically reproduced images. One of the more significant works,Woman Sawed in Half (1989) captures the complexity of the artist’s mind and her natural inclination toward storytelling, which is unsurprising given her decorated career as both playwright and novelist.

  • THE ROSE ART MUSEUM PRESENTS ROSALYN DREXLER: WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? February 12 – June 5, 2016
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Nina J. Berger, [email protected] 617.543.1595 High-resolution images available upon request THE ROSE ART MUSEUM PRESENTS ROSALYN DREXLER: WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? February 12 – June 5, 2016 (Waltham, Mass.) – The Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University will present the historic, monographic exhibition Who Does She Think She Is?, a long-overdue retrospective of Rosalyn Drexler’s multidisciplinary practice, February 12 – June 5, 2016. Showcasing Drexler’s major paintings and collages as well as her captivating early sculptures, award-winning plays and novels, and photographic and video documentation of the flamboyant performance aspects of her life and work, the exhibition is co-curated by Rose Curator-at-Large Katy Siegel and Curatorial Assistant Caitlin Julia Rubin. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, February 11, 2016 from 5-9pm. Drexler was an active participant in New York’s artistic scene of the 1960s, and her collages and large format paintings—which borrow imagery from movies, advertisements, and newspapers— reverberate with the Pop art of her contemporaries. Yet Drexler’s work unfolds personal and social conflict with a political consciousness rare in the cool art of that moment and an explicitness that fearlessly courts vulgarity, anticipating the feminism of 1980s appropriation art, as well as its photographic techniques. A vivid portrait of both Drexler’s singular artistic persona and the histories in which she has played a vibrant role, Who Does She Think She Is? will show Drexler to be both a sharp critic of and a joyful participant in contemporary American culture of the past 50 years.
