Self Divination speaks poetically about origins and the realities of the African diaspora.
Semiotics of the Kitchen adopts the form of a parodic cooking demonstration in which, Rosler states, "An anti-Julia Child replaces the domesticated 'meaning' of tools with a lexicon of rage and frustration." In this performance-based work, a static camera is focused on a woman in a kitchen. On a...
In 2003, for A Short History of Performance, Part II, at the Whitechapel Gallery in London, Rosler announced an open call for a live restaging of her seminal 1975 video piece Semiotics of the Kitchen. Twenty-six women participated in a rotating performance of Rosler's script at the Whitechapel. On a set stocked with culinary utensils, the participants were taped and "broadcast" on television monitors throughout the gallery via live feed. Semiotics of the Kitchen: An Audition documents the preliminary rehearsals with Rosler and the public event, the "audition."

Re-editing footage collected from months of playing Tomb Raider, Ahwesh transforms the video game into a reflection on identity and mortality. Trading the rules of gaming for art making, she brings Tomb Raider's cinematic aesthetics to the foreground, and shirks the pre-programmed "mission" of its heroine, Lara Croft. Moving beyond her implicit feminist critique, she enlarges the dilemma of Croft's entrapment to that of the individual in an increasingly artificial world.
"Shifted From the Side is stylistically similar to To And Fro. Fro And To. And To And Fro. And Fro and To, and was probably made the same afternoon, in the back of the Leo Castelli Gallery. The object used to demonstrate five possibilities (of what could, but not necessarily should, be the work) is a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes. As in the first tape, the camera is static. The pack is on the right side of the screen; as the work and text are spoken the pack is slid (shifted) back and forth. The hand leaves the object each time an act is completed before sliding it (from side to side) across the table." — Alice Weiner
