David Rosenberg, born in 1965, is a French art curator and author, specialized in modern and contemporary art.
David Rosenberg curated exhibitions in France and all over the world in collaboration with museums and foundations (MACRO Museum in Rome, Magyar Nemzeti Galéria (Hungarian National Gallery) in Budapest, Musée d’Ixelles (Museum of Ixelles) in Brussels, Musée d’Art Moderne et contemporain de Strasbourg (Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Strasbourg), La Maison Rouge in Paris, Boghossian Foundation in Brussels, Fonds Hélène & Edouard Leclerc in Landerneau, K11 in Shanghai, Beyond Museum in Seoul…) and in collaboration with galleries (Kamel Mennour Gallery in Paris, Georges-Philippe et Nathalie Vallois Gallery in Paris, Filomena Soares Gallery in Lisbon, Feizi Gallery in Brussels…). He also organized art events (Parcours Privé FIAC, Parcours Privé Paris Photo, Palais de Tokyo…).
In his works, he explored relations between art and different disciplines — such as science, new technologies, dance, and also studied connections between art and comic strip or the world of manga. Furthermore, he did some 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 off stage, 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, Lao PDR, 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.
