Subject: Meaning cleaning

Hi there Angela!

I'm sorry I won't be able to make it for your performance.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned this last fall, but do you know about Merle Laderman Ukeles' work? You should really check her out...really interesting work. She does cleaning as well, but she mostly cleans museums. HM and MK have both written about her work, both as public art, feminist gestures, and institutional critique. She also became "Artist in Residence" at the New York department of sanitation! She had a performance where she shook the hands of every garbage collector in the city....

Anyway, I'm glad to see you're doing well and performing!
