These two selections skewer the idea that women’s work is only in the home. In Rosler’s Semiotics of the Kitchen (1975, 6 minutes), the director demonstrates cooking utensils, varying their intended use in increasingly absurd ways. Broadcasting from her ironing board, Callard consults the I Ching to investigate the limits of measuring the mind in 11 thru 12 (1977, 11 minutes).
