The first retrospective monograph for a legendary feminist artist and pedagogue who taught generations of artists at CalArtsPublished with Krannert Art Museum.Accompanying the first retrospective exhibition showcasing three decades of work from Millie Wilson (born 1948), this publication delves into the influential, yet under-recognized, artist and educator whose work has deftly examined feminism, queerness and their historical erasure from art institutions.

Their manifold practices play out, live test and fictionalize the mechanisms that shape creative communities. Chronicling over a decade of production in Berlin, the book is organized around the influential bar and theater spaces they ran there: Times Bar (201112), New Theater (201315), Gruener Salon at the Volksbuehne (201718) and TV Bar (201922). Rooted in a renewed conceptual approach to photography, Henkel and Pitegoffs oeuvre spins an allegory of this historical moment in which precarity and gentrification are two sides of the same coin. Their photographs, plays, writings and films address the complexity of collective action, painting a deadpan picture of the social and economic systems that sustain communal exchanges and their eminently fragile autonomy.Calla Henkel (born 1988) is from Minneapolis and based in Berlin and Los Angeles.
