Her Manifesto for Maintenance Art, 1969! is still operative today. Since 1977, when she became the official, unsalaried artist-in-residence at the New York City Department of Sanitation – a position she still holds – Ukeles has created art that deals with the endless maintenance and service workers that 'keep the city alive', holistic urban waste flows, and our power to transform degraded land and water into healthy public places. Ukeles is represented by the Ronald Feldman Gallery, New York.
