1. As I was performing Maintenance Art at the USU, I felt a sense of rebellion because the Art Department said professionals had to clean it. It felt freeing to clean the Now statue.
2. I feel as though Ukeles’ Maintenance Art performance was an act of sustainment while Serra flinging molten lead was act of destruction. However, both of those art were in the form of an action. I feel as though both are not art.
3. Ukeles’ Maintenance Art performance is not art. I hate to say it but janitors do it all the time and it is not art. Simply it is just an ordinary task.
4. An object is art if it has the intention of being art and has a medium that can be seen. Painting on a canvas is art and also painting a picture on a house could also be art.
5. Ukeles and Jennifer Lopez did not make me feel any different about Women’s Work because I already value the work the women.
6. I would clean Tom Hanks’ star because I think he is a talented actor and just a chill dude.
