In the last twenty years video art has assumed an increasingly significant role in the art world, with exhibits by leading artists now commonplace in major art museums. One of the most important video artists in the Philadelphia area is Peter Rose. Since 1965 Rose has been making films and videos that deal with issues of perception, time, the structure of language, and cultural mythology. Rose's innovative and thoughtful work has received critical praise in The New York Times, the Village Voice, and the Philadelphia Inquirer; Joe Baltake in the Philadelphia Daily News said, "Rose's work is timeless. His movies are hard to shake—intensely powerful, personal, lucid, and relentless."

Rose has had more than sixty one-person exhibitions of his work, including shows at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. He is the recipient of many prestigious fellowships, including four from the National Endowment for the Arts, eleven from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and both Guggenheim and Pew Fellowships. His work has been broadcast over PBS affiliate stations in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. In keeping with the Michener's emphasis on the landscape tradition, this exhibit presented two recent video pieces in which Rose has created complex meditations on how we perceive the land around us.
