Michael Bühler-Rose’s received his BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and his MFA from the University of Florida, Gainesville (2008). He is an Instructor at both the Rhode Island School of Design and at Cooper Union, as well as a purohita (Hindu priest), and his work on these platforms influence his artistic production. His study and practice of Vaishnavism, Sanskrit, kalpa (ritual), and philosophy over the last 20 years have prompted extended stays in India, including one as a Fulbright Fellow. In his photographs, videos and installations he explores the relationship between the art object and the artist as a parallel to a venerated deity and a priest, and aesthetic experience as ultimately religious. Bühler-Rose has exhibited work at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, Delhi; Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Cambridge; Witte De With, Rotterdam, and the Everson Museum, Syracuse.
