Cleaning, Cooking, Caring. Care Work in Art in Western- and Eastern Europe, in the USA and Latin America since 1960

自20世纪60年代以来，世界各地的女性艺术家一直在批判性地参与性别政治和护理工作的社会后果。在20世纪60年代开始的第二波女权主义浪潮之后，特别是在马克思主义圈子中发起的“家务工资”运动，他们开始发展艺术技巧和过程，以表达对新的，公平的劳动分配的要求。这个研究项目的目的是对1960年以来艺术中的生殖劳动进行概述、分析和语境化，以及批判性的评估。在三个相互关联的部分中，每个部分都有其独特的区域和主题重点，该项目探讨了生殖劳动如何在艺术中表现出来：第一部分，“博物馆的清洁：生殖和护理工作作为当代艺术的挑衅”，研究了艺术生殖过程与创造力、技术问题的关系，以及关于技能和去技能的辩论。第二部分“东西方的双重轮班：1960年至1990年艺术中流水线和厨房之间的护理/工人”检视了处理女性在护理工作和工厂劳动之间的双重负担的艺术作品，以探讨东欧和西欧之间存在什么相似之处和差异。第三部分“‘组织起来的妇女不要熨衬衫’（Mujeres Creando）： 20世纪80年代以来拉丁美洲艺术中的关怀工作”考察了20世纪80年代至今的艺术作品，这些作品在全球化和移民劳工的背景下，将拉丁美洲关于生殖劳动的女权主义艺术实践主题化。

Since the 1960s, female artists around the world have been critically engaged with gender politics and the social consequences of care work. In the wake of second-wave feminism beginning in the 1960s, in particular, the “Wages for Housework” campaign launched in Marxist circles, they began to develop artistic techniques and processes to articulate demands for a new, equitable distribution of labor. It is the aim of this research project to generate an overview, analysis and contextualization, as well as a critical evaluation of reproductive labor in art since 1960. In three interlocking parts, each with its unique regional and thematic focus, the project examines how reproductive labor is made visible in art: Section I, “Cleaning in the Museum: Reproductive and Care Work as a Provocation of Contemporary Art” investigates artistic-reproductive processes in terms of their relationship to questions of creativity, technique, and the debate on skill and de-skilling. Section II, “Double Shift in East and West: The Care/Worker between Assembly Line and Kitchen in Art 1960 to 1990” examines works of art that deal with the double burden of women between care work and factory labor, to ask what parallels and differences exist here between Eastern and Western Europe. Section III, “‘Women Who Organize Don’t Iron Shirts’ (Mujeres Creando): Care Work in Latin American Art Since the 1980s” examines works of art from the 1980s to the present that, in the context of globalization and migrant labor, thematize feminist artistic practice concerning reproductive labor in Latin America.
