mierle laderman ukeles maintenance artist documentary review

A new documentary titled "Maintenance Artist," directed by Toby Perl Freilich, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. The film chronicles the career of Mierle Laderman Ukeles, who coined the term "Maintenance Art" in a 1969 manifesto to elevate everyday domestic and civic labor into art. It follows her decades-long collaborations with New York City agencies, including her seminal "Touch Sanitation Performance" (1979–80) with the NYC Department of Sanitation, and her ongoing struggle to realize the installation "Landing: Cantilevered Overlook" (2008) at Freshkills Park. The documentary weaves together archival footage, interviews, and analysis of second-wave feminism, conceptual art, and urban bureaucracy.

art exhibition carlos vega anima mundi jack shainman

Carlos Vega's exhibition "Anima Mundi" is on view at Jack Shainman Gallery in New York through April 18. The show features Vega's large-scale paintings on lead substrate, which depict a psychedelic, Edenic universe filled with nymphs, extraterrestrial flora, galaxies, and portals. Vega, who is also the husband of gallerist Jack Shainman, draws on ancient Greek philosophy and his own biography—including his upbringing in Melilla, Morocco, and his grandfather's assassination during the Spanish Civil War—to explore themes of consciousness, death, and the interconnectedness of all things. The works incorporate Renaissance antique frames, nodding to his classical training at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Spain.

At the New Art Dealers Alliance (Nada) New York fair, running until 17 May, multiple artists are presenting works that heavily incorporate textiles to explore themes of culture, belonging, and history. Artists such as Keith Lafuente (with SoMad), Polina Osipova (with JO-HS), and Griselda Rosas (with Luis De Jesus Los Angeles) use fabric and sewing techniques to examine histories of inequality, migration, and labor. Rosas embroiders over painted paper using imagery from Mexican codices, Osipova prints family photos onto traditional Chuvash fabric, and Lafuente repurposes scraps from Oscar de la Renta to comment on global labor inequalities. Other participants like Ruth Owens (with Voltz Clarke Gallery) use textiles in lightbox works to tell personal stories of migration and abduction.
