In Washing (1974), Mierle Laderman Ukeles scrubbed the sidewalk outside A.I.R. Gallery, declaring it “maintained as art.” When a building super brought her fresh rags and shook her hand, the work shifted from solo performance act to shared civic ritual - a turning point as Ukeles later stated.

Showing now on @thearsonista.bsky.social, D.W. Young's short 35mm film, Dancing on the Silk Razor, produced by New York-based @fineprintpictures.bsky.social, features a narration by Wallace Shawn.
