Accompanying a presentation of works (including video works) by 35 artists and collectives, this catalogue contains three essays that interrogate the relationship between represented femininity and dirt or cleanliness. Ward's essay inspects the documentary tradition and contrasts modernist with contemporary practices. Haug traces the role of the Black mammy in domesticity. Mertes views in the historical context a process of legitimation through naturalization. 40 bibl. ref
