Tribute to Ukeles is inspired by the writings of artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles in her Manifesto for Maintenance Art 1969! who in this period was a full-time mother as well as an artist. Her work at this point became investigations into bringing the two worlds together through their common denominator: Ukeles herself.
Joe Stevens (b. in 1982 in Newark, England) is a conceptual artist who explores systems by progressively generating, through a process of world-building, many different facets of a fictional, perhaps autobiographical diegetic space.
Stevens’ work consists of games, sculptures, photos, videos, fonts, installations and more.
