Biography
David Rosenberg has curated exhibitions and organized art events in France and internationally in collaboration with museums and foundations.
In his works, he has explored relations between art and different disciplines — such as science, new technologies, dance, and studied connections between art and comic strip or manga. He has also done work around the history of photography and the record of invention (neon light).
In 2003, he founded "Le Dancing", a group of European dancers and choreographers performing offstage, in collaboration with plastic artists and artistic groups.
In 2004, he contributed to "The Quiet in the Land, Art, Spirituality and Everyday life", Luang Prabang, Laos, created and directed by France Morin.
From 2004 to 2012, he was a faculty member in the Art department at the University of Paris VIII.
In 2014 he was named Knight of the Order of the Arts and Letters.
