Disarming Domesticity
Event Details
These two selections skewer the idea that women’s work is only in the home. In Rosler’s Semiotics of the Kitchen (1975, 6 minutes), the director demonstrates cooking utensils, varying their intended use in increasingly absurd ways. Broadcasting from her ironing board, Callard consults the I Ching to investigate the limits of measuring the mind in 11 thru 12 (1977, 11 minutes).
The series is co-organized by the Walker Art Center and the University of Minnesota
Copresented by the Arts & Humanities Chair 2011–2013, Moving Image Studies, and the departments of English, German, Scandinavian & Dutch; and Cultural Studies & Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota. Additional support provided by the Morton Zabel Fund of the Department of English.
