Opening Reception | Mierle Laderman Ukeles' Maintenance Art: A ZRetrospective

Sunday, September 18, 2016, 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm

Free

Since the late 1960s, Mierle Laderman Ukeles' performances, sculptural installations, and writing have explored issues profoundly important today: the role of women in society, cultures of work and labor, and the environment. Her Manifesto for Maintenance Art 1969! laid out the hidden, yet essential role of maintenance in Western society-and the radical implications of actively valuing rather than dismissing or hiding it.

This is the first survey of Ukeles' work, organized by the Queens Museum's Larissa Harris with guest co-curator Patricia C. Phillips, who initiated the project in 2012. The show spans five decades, from Ukeles' work as a pioneer of feminist performance to a practitioner of public art through which she invites us to reconsider indispensable urban systems and the workers who maintain them. Ukeles is undoubtedly best-known for her 38+ year role as the official, unsalaried Artist-in-Residence at New York's Department of Sanitation. Unprecedented when it began in 1978, this residency has now become a model for municipalities engaging with artists as creative agents.
