Betye Saar
Betye Saar is included in Cooking, Cleaning, Caring: Care Work in the Arts Since 1960 at The Josef Albers Museum. The Josef Albers Museum Quadrat Bottrop, in cooperation with scientists from the Art History Institute at the Ruhr University Bochum, is showing a group exhibition that addresses historical and current issues in artistic discourses surrounding care work. Videos, photographs, installations and paintings by international artists that have brought together care work in art since 1960 deal with the social, economic and political meanings as well as the visibility of work that is mostly carried out by women. For the first time, an overview of the artistic engagement with care work in a global context is created, as well as the specific local perspective of the Ruhr area as a "region of work".
