Everything has its first time
In this performance Rosler takes on the role of an apron-clad housewife and parodies the television cooking demonstrations popularized by Julia Child in the 1960s. Standing in a kitchen, surrounded by refrigerator, table, and stove, she moves through the alphabet from A to Z, assigning a letter to the various tools found in this domestic space. Wielding knives, a nutcracker, and a rolling pin, she warms to her task, her gestures sharply punctuating the rage and frustration of oppressive women’s roles. Rosler has said of this work, “I was concerned with something like the notion of ‘language speaking the subject,’ and with the transformation of the woman herself into a sign in a system of signs that represent a system of food production, a system of harnessed subjectivity.”

What the fuck is this?
Anyone here for AcDec?
Is that a persona 5 reference?
Myopic
White feminism is so insidious. How about, women who are the most exploited don't even have access to kitchen gadgets like this lol
Unless the intent was to confuse the logic behind this production was lost on me.
Brilliant
Michel Foucault's residual droppings. "give us freedom of sexual liberation and in return we won't question your economic structure". The left's abstract nothingness as the only strategic plan.
"penis"?
