The Kitchen
By Brooklyn born artist Liza Lou. Five years in the making this whimsical kitchen is made of wood, plaster, found objects and thousands of beads. There is much to take away—a woman’s place is in the home, why not make it dazzling? It’s actually a take on advertising to women in the 50’s and 60’s when domestic chores were promoted as women’s work only. There are many subtle messages and quite a few not so subtle. Definitely worth a look. At the Whitney Museum; part of the Arts and Crafts exhibit.
