Coleen Fitzgibbon - "Restoring the Appearance to Order in 12 min."

Excerpt from "Restoring the Appearance to Order in 12 min." (1975, 16mm, color, sound, 10 minutes). The filmmaker performs her solitary act of cleaning. A static camera tightly frames the studio sink, dirty with paint and other residue while the artist engages in a concerted ritual of scrubbing and scraping ... a treatise on the over-cleanliness of certain reductivist gestures in history of art making.
