Service: A Trilogy on Colonization

Providing art as a service to others or thinking about this as a way to destabilize the commodity‑function of art has been formative for Temporary Services and Half Letter Press. Martha Rosler has been a pioneer is so many ways that have impacted contemporary art practice. This is a book of three novels — “A Budding Gourmet”, “McTowers Maid,” and “Tijuana Maid” — and one translation. In their original form the novels were sent through the mail as postcard series to potential readers, one card about every five to seven days.
