Terry Berkowitz began her career with public works created in āurbanscapesā (Chicago and New York) and short films reflecting on sociological issues. Working mainly with installation over the last few decades, she utilizes whatever media will best serve the content of the work. Sculptural elements are blended with audio (found sound, music, etc.), slide and film projections, photography and/or video. The works may include interviews as a main component. Berkowitz travels extensively to research works that have included subjects as wide-ranging as the lives of Palestinians under occupation (āA Rock and A Hard Placeā at the Whitney Museum, 1992), rape and its resonances in the lives of women (āBackseatā, Sculpture Center, 1994 and āThe Malaya Lola Projectā, CCP, Manila, 2007 and Galeria Magda Bellotti, Madrid, 2008), and forced expulsions around the world (āChant for the Unsettledā, Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art, 1996 and āVeil of Memory/Prologue: The Last Supperā, MetrĆ²nom, Barcelona, 1999). She has had solo exhibitions at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston; the Joseloff Gallery at the Hartford Art School in Connecticut; Anderson Gallery at Virginia Commonwealth University; The Alternative Museum, NY; PS1in Long Island City; 112 Green Street Workshop in New York; and elsewhere in addition to those mentioned above. Grants include NEA, CAPS, NYFA, NYSCA, Jerome Foundation. Terry Berkowitz is a Fulbright Scholar.
