Her early involvement with ballet and dressage, whose common roots lie in European Baroque, led to English developing her famous feminist dance performance Quadrille (1975) and her performance with a horse My Mathematics (1992). Three of her major stage performances will be shown in public for the first-ever time in the form of a new site-specific installation.’ A publication in German and English versions will accompany the exhibition. **************************************** The Surface That Has To Be There For The Shadow To Reveal Itself Solo exhibitionRingsted Galleriet, Denmark26 October - 7 December 2024Finissage on Saturday December 7th from 1-4pm, when Rose English will present the feature film The Gold Diggers followed by Q&A with art historian, Stine Hebert at KINO Kultur Ringsted.**************************************** RECENT GROUP EXHIBITIONS:HEST 3 akt: Hesten og Magten / The Horse and Power28 September - 22 December 2024.

Curated by Darren Pih, Tate Liverpool 5 May - 4 September 2022.  Mead Gallery, Warwick 6 October - 18 December 2022. “Rose English has produced Bed in Field 1, 1971 (printed in 2022), a limited edition print to coincide with the exhibition. For her limited edition, English has chosen an image from a series of works she created in early spring of 1971. The series captures two figures lying next to one another in a ploughed field in the English countryside. Rather than lying on top of the ground, the couple are tucked under the tilled soil with pillows under their heads as if tucked up in bed. The intimate moment between a couple seems at odds with the wide open surroundings. The act of sleeping peacefully, normally reserved for the domestic realm, is brought outside. Like much of English’s performance work, the scene is at once humorous, challenging and poetic.” ****************************************From the Embodied Object to the Charmed Arena - Leeds School of Arts presents Rose English in conversation with Dr Kiff Bamford, offering an insight into Rose’s five decades of collaborative creative practice. 7 December 2022, Leeds School of Arts, School of Arts Building Cinema.**************************************** Rose English in conversation with Jean Wainwright - Exploring the lifespan of an artwork, from the archive to performance.21 July 2022.

The stay included a week's work in Holmegaard Værk's glass workshop. The residency has resulted in a book that combines the work processes with final works. The book contains a variety of research and ideas, and also draws threads back to a selection of Rose's previous practices. In addition, the book contains a perspective reflection by curator Ida Bencke (Laboratory of Aesthetics & Ecology).’The book is designed by Kristina Ask, hand-bound by LuiLui Books and is published in a limited edition of 22 numbered copies.

The audience, there to watch the equestrian events, was surprised to see a group of six dancers take to the field, dressed in costumes that resembled horse hoofs and tails.This performance now lives on, in an installation including film, photos and objects from the Show. In this film, the artist and Gates Sofer, Sculpture Conservator, discuss what it means for performance art to take on a new life inside the walls of an art museum.” ***************************************Amy Tobin and Cora Gilroy-Ware in conversation on Rose English on the occasion of The Pioneers.

Her uniquely interdisciplinary work combines elements of theatre, circus, opera and poetry to explore themes of gender politics, the identity of the performer and the metaphysics of presence. English has mounted performances in ice rinks; at the Royal Court Theatre and Tate Britain, London and Franklin Furnace, New York; and collaborated with horses, magicians and acrobats. Her work ranges from her site-specific performances and collaborations of the 1970s including Quadrille, Berlin and Mounting, her acclaimed solo performances of the 1980s including Plato’s Chair and The Beloved to her large scale spectaculars of the 1990s including Walks on Water, The Double Wedding and Tantamount Esperance. English also co-wrote and designed the feature film The Gold Diggers, 1983, directed by Sally Potter; digitally re-mastered and released on BFI DVD in 2009. Her internationally celebrated solo with a horse - My Mathematics - was followed by a series of vignettes with horses at The Banff Centre, Canada and The Serpentine Gallery, London. Ornamental Happiness - a show in song and circus opened the Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art in 2006 followed by Flagrant Wisdom, commissioned by National Glass Centre in 2009. English’s performance works of the 1970s featured in the exhibition ‘WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution’ curated by Cornelia Butler at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles 2007.
