Work, Work, Work :: Domestic Labor in Art
This panel seeks to curate an array of art that explores domestic labor through artistic practice and is open to practicing artists as well as art historians. From Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Maintenance Art to Mary Kelly’s Post-Partum Document and countless others, artists have been critiquing domestic labor for years and the saga continues as artists respond to the demands of capitalism, patriarchy, gender roles. During the current COVID-19 pandemic women, in particular mothers, have dropped out of the work force at high rates due to the intense domestic pressure of taking it all on. How are artists and art historians responding to this in their work and how does it fit into the larger cannon of art history?
Comments are closed, but trackbacks and pingbacks are open.
