This lecture by legendary performance artist and public art pioneer Mierle Laderman Ukeles is presented as part of the special exhibition Overtime: The Art of Work. Ukeles will discuss her trailblazing feminist and service-oriented artwork Maintenance Art, which she began in 1969, and the work (on view in Overtime) that she made after becoming the first and only artist-in-residence of the New York City Department of Sanitation, a position she has held since 1977.
