[Mierle Laderman Ukeles ](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/mierle-laderman-ukeles) The Making of a Maintenance Artist Hyperallergic May 08, 2026 It feels appropriate that Mierle Laderman Ukeles operated mostly beneath the notice of the general public for decades. As a “maintenance artist,” she focused on marginal labor, such as the upkeep of public spaces or the unpaid maternal and feminine labor that for a long time wasn’t thought of as proper work, and sometimes still isn’t. In 2017, 40 years after she became artist-in-residence at the New York City Department of Sanitation, Ukeles received her first career retrospective at the Queens Museum, which brought her wider attention. Now, the documentary *Maintenance Artist* (2025) has hit theaters, offering an easily digestible biography to spread the word about Ukeles.
