Dedicated to Mierle Laderman Ukeles This handbook is dedicated to Mierle Laderman Ukeles whose early feminist work represents the kind of thoughtful actions that ecological artists can take to make the world a better place. Her “CARE” manifesto published in 1969 and subsequent Maintenance Art performances are ephemeral monuments giving power to gestures for healing ourselves and the planet.
