South African artist (born 1974)
Tracey Rose
In December 2010, at salon urbain de Douala, looking at an artwork of Boris Nzebo.
Rose was born in 1974 in Durban, South Africa. She attended the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg in Fine Arts where she obtained her B.A. in 1996. She taught at Vaal Triangle Technikon, Vanderbijl Park, South Africa and at the University of the Witwatersrand. In February and March 2001 she was artist-in-residence in Cape Town at the South African National Gallery where she developed her work for the Venice Biennale 2001 curated by Harald Szeemann.
Tracey Rose is represented in the US by Christian Haye of The Project.[1]
Rose's work responds to the limitations of dogma and the flaws in institutionalised cultural discourse. Her practice, which is known for centering on performance, also includes photography, video, and installation. Always evident in her work is the artist's insistence in confronting the politics of identity, including sexual, racial, and gender-based themes.[2] According to Jan Avgikos, "part of Rose's appeal is her fluid referencing of '60s and '70s performance art".

Exhibitions
According to Sue Williamson,[3] "Tracey Rose is not a practitioner who jumps at every curatorial opportunity offered her, and has been known to withdraw from more than one exhibition if the circumstances have not seemed right."
