SUMMARY:Maintenance Artist
DESCRIPTION:Rivertown Film presents\, “Maintenance Artist.” Wednesday\, May 20. 8PM at the Nyack Center. Directed by Toby Pearl Freilich!  25th Year Special Event! “After the Revolution\, who’s going to pick up the garbage on Monday morning?” challenged Mierle Laderman Ukeles. Crashing the boundary between art and action\, in 1977 she became the first artist-in-residence at NYC’s Department of Sanitation\, collaborating with municipal workers to inject art directly into the city’s bloodstream. Maintenance Artist is the first feature documentary about this revolutionary public artist. Ukeles\, inspired by Marcel Duchamp\, pioneered the notion that routine maintenance – from changing diapers to picking up city trash to caring for the earth – could be acts of performance art. With never-before-seen archival footage\, Maintenance Artists tells a story of essential workers and radical contemporary art set during the social and artistic upheavals of the last half century. Tickets on sale!  CLICK HERE for details.
