Following our screening of MAINTENANCE ARTIST, there will be a panel discussion featuring the filmโs Director Toby Perl Freilich, Princeton University Associate Director of Visual Arts Colleen Asper, and Princeton University Professor of Theater Stacy E. Wolf. ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐๐ at princetongardentheatre.org/specials๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฒ: After becoming a mother disrupted her career as an artist, Mierle Laderman Ukeles published a daring manifesto: from now on, all her acts of childcare and household maintenance would be performance art. The Manifesto propelled Ukeles into male dominated avant-garde scene during the 1960s. In 1977, in a move that would radically reframe public art, Ukeles was invited to establish an unprecedented artist-in-residency at the NYC Sanitation Department, where she championed a demeaned but essential class of workers within a vast urban system. Set during the impassioned social and artistic upheavals of the late 20th century and using newly digitized archival footage, MAINTENANCE ARTIST is a documentary of an artist who raised maintenance to an art form and became a force in contemporary art.
