| book description |

Care, welfare and nurturing work ensure the foundations of human coexistence. This exhibition catalogue of Vienna’s SAMMLUNG COLLECTION presents works by artists who devote themselves to existential areas of caregiving. They reflect upon a new ‘sign language of the kitchen’. They make paid and unpaid care work – often invisible and realised under precarious working conditions – visible as class politics. Touching photographs of care for elders show intergenerational solidarity. Female artists who are mothers address the evaluation of care work in the art world. Works by the feminist avant-garde of the 1970s are thereby set into a lively dialogue with contemporary works. Thus, the publication aims to contribute to the appreciation of care work, which is predominantly performed by women. Discussion of the highly relevant topic of care/nurturing/welfare A lively dialogue between works from the feminist avant-garde of the 1970s and contemporary works – including sculptures, objects, photographs, drawings, and videos Participating artists: Akihito Yoshida, Aneta Grzeszykowska, Anna Kutera, Anna Schölß, Annegret Soltau, Birgit Jürgenssen, Christine Lederer, Elizabeth Catlett, Frida Orupabo, Hannah Cooke, Karin Mack, Kirsten Justesen, Laura Ribero, Lena Henke, Letícia Parente, Lorna Simpson, Małgorzata Markiewicz, Margaret Raspé, Maria Pinińska-Bereś, Marlene Haring, Martha Rosler, Mary Sibande, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Natalia Iguiñiz, Nicole Wermers, Renate Bertlmann, Rosemarie Trockel, See Red Women's Workshop, Sophie Gogl, VALIE EXPORT  Exhibition: Albertina Vienna, March 13 to June 14, 2026
