Martha Rosler- Semiotics of the Kitchen

I think this video is hilarious but I think I approach it from a post-feminist perspective. It is so straightforward and dry, its delightful. I am constantly reminded of my mother who tells me its necessary to learn the ways of the kitchen in order to satisfy somebody else’s life. A knife isn’t just a knife and a ladle isn’t just a ladle, each object has a cultural and historical reading that has lasted for quite a while. I think to understand Martha Rosler’s language you need to be familiar with her subject matter or a socially aware woman/man.
