Two Works by Mierle Laderman Ukeles Respond to a City in Crisis at the Queens Museum and the 8th Floor, New York

Mierle Laderman Ukeles, the unsalaried Artist-in-Residence for the New York City Department of Sanitation since 1977, sees a link between the financial woes of New York in the 1970s and the effects of the current global health crisis on the city. She’ll talk with Shelley and Donald Rubin Foundation executive and artistic director Sara Reisman and Queens Museum executive director Sally Tallant about that connection, her current public art installation thanking service workers, and her inclusion in the current 8th Floor group show, “To Cast Too Bold a Shadow.”

Price: Free with RSVP
Time: 1 p.m.–2:30 p.m.
