English edition
Care, welfare and nurturing work ensure the foundations of human coexistence. This exhibition catalogue of Vienna’s VERBUND COLLECTION presents works by artists who devote themselves to existential areas of caregiving. They reflect upon a new ‘sign language of the kitchen’. They make paid and unpaid care work – often invisible and realised under precarious working conditions – visible as class politics. Touching photographs of care for elders show intergenerational solidarity. Female artists who are mothers address the evaluation of care work in the art world. Works by the feminist avant-garde of the 1970s are thereby set into a lively dialogue with contemporary works. Thus, the publication aims to contribute to the appreciation of care work, which is predominantly performed by women.
