Moira Roth, a leading international voice in feminism, performance and contemporary art, talks about her installation based on a literary project. For over ten years, Roth has been creating a fragmented narrative about a fictional Czech Jew, Rachel Marker. Through the Eyes of Rachel Marker has been presented in different forms, including published texts, plays, and performances. Now for the first time, the project takes the form of a multi-media museum installation, curated by The Magnes Director, Alla Efimova. Roth, a Berkeley-based writer and art historian, is the Eugene E. Trefethen Jr. Professor of Art History at Mills College, Oakland. The Gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 11AM to 4PM
