Women's Work: Second-Wave Feminist Art and Domestic Labour

本项目探讨了第二波女权主义艺术家如何将家务劳动的性别政治复杂化。家务劳动虽然在艺术史上被忽视，但在20世纪70年代和80年代成为女权主义辩论的避雷针，激发了一系列艺术反应。我的项目通过分析第二波艺术作品的交叉、跨国选择来解决这一未被充分研究的工作，这些作品破坏了父权制对社会再生产的理解。通过档案研究、访谈和以对象为中心的方法，我的项目揭示了艺术家如何参与不同的实践和制度背景，以质疑围绕性别和劳动的社会文化价值观是如何构建、加强和挑战的。

This project examines how second-wave feminist artists complicated the gendered politics of domestic labour in their work. While largely overlooked within art history, housework became a lightning rod for feminist debate during the 1970s and 80s, inspiring a range of artistic responses. My project addresses this under-researched body of work by analysing an intersectional, transnational selection of second- wave artwork that destabilises patriarchal understandings of social reproduction. Through archival research, interviews, and an object-centred approach, my project reveals how artists have engaged different practices and institutional contexts to question how socio-cultural values surrounding gender and labour are constructed, reinforced, and challenged.
