W2- Maintenance Art

The maintenance art activity was cool. Ukeles and Serra are different in their own ways one throwing molten lead and the other seems to care for the art. They are the same as in they are making something look better than it did before. Ukeles performance could be interperted as a form of art by making something beautiful again. Serra could as be art by throwing the molten lead as in a way to express himself. If she was a janitor she could still consider her work art. All paintings on a canvas is art, and painting a house could be art. Ukeles and Jlo showed me in what ways “women’s work” could be art. Yes women’s work could be art, there is some beauty in work that women do such as taking care of a child, educating children, etc. I would clean someones star if they ever made me laugh, smile or meant something to me.
