In one room, Chinese women dressed in viridian robes reach through portals in order to massage Mexican woman working in a lettuce field in California. Meanwhile, at a rubber plantation in India, trees are tapped for their milky latex. A woman's abundant breasts and cheeks become pink when they are squeezed by compressing walls ;. “blush,” a powdery substance that references both a physical sensation and a makeup product, falls off The blush, lettuce, and rubber latex are all mixed together to create a magical object The. entire production is managed by Bunny Glamazon and Trixxter Bombshell, a Buddha-like woman on a turntable, who gives directions via telekinesis The final art object produced by this collaboration will never be physically present ;. it will ultimately be stored in an offshore safe. (“Squeeze”, Mika Rottenberg)
Failure:
"The whole thing is meant to fail on some level because you can not give shape to abstract emotions, sensations, memories, and smells."
Feminism:
"I am not sure, and maybe my work is about investigating what a" feminist statement "in 2010 will be. Sure, I want to look at systems and capitalist production from a female point of view-I am a feminist, and I believe that there still is not equality, and these are ideas that I think about. I have this claustrophobic feeling that I am physically trapped inside my body, inside my sexuality, inside my gender. I want to try to spit that out, and package it. Maybe there is a way out from oppression to liberation, when you are able to observe it—to look at it as an object. "
113 BOMB, Fall 2010 Mika Rottenberg Interviewed by Judith Hudson.

Monument of Apron opened shop in 2015 as an experimental e-commerce reading experience and the online notebook of various co-conspirators along with artistic research collective Display Distribute. Collating both old and new labours of networked, female work, its 'products' feature the overstock of various projects and observations along with a surplus of thought and transaction. To 'purchase' an article here demands a re-evaluation, turning the dynamic of producer and consumer on its head with a series of questions. Be prepared to work for your 'fulfillment'.
Monument of Apron, or 圍群—a word play combining 圍裙 wéiqún (apron), that timeless utilitarian garment, with 群 qún (group, crowd, caboodle or gang)—considers all those relegated to under-compensated, thankless tasks and encourages the donning of the apron. The pocketed apron lends itself further to secrecy and theft—caching what’s owed and stowing it away for otherwise circulations. An apron is also a protector and shield. For the aproned squad, communication across picket fences and gossip are key forms of solidarity—modes of redistributive practice towards an undercommons.
