Martha Rosler sent out this black-and-white photograph to friends and artist colleagues on her mailing list in [1977] as part of her "From Our House to Your House" (1974-1978) series.

"Four of the five cards in the series depict Rosler awkwardly situated in a kitchen: In the first, dressed in California (and performance) white, she is squeezed between stove and refrigerator, next to a big plaster chili peper, while the text reads '5 4" By 128 Pounds At Home In Kitchen.' The next, bearing the same message, presents her dressed in New York black, leaning on a tenement stove. The third, a production still from the videotape Semiotics of the Kitchen, simply says 'Grater,' after the implement she is holding. In another California kitcgen scene she stands morosely in an extravagent wedding gown. The last installment, dispensing with the preprinted form, is a still of Rosler, naked, being measured in the videotape Vital Statistics. A label on the front reads '5'4" 119 lbs. under scrutingy,' and the name 'Martha Rosler is stamped at the bottom..." -- Alexander Alberro, "The Dialectics of Everyday Life," in "Martha Rosler: Positions in the Life World," Birmingham, UK: Ikon Gallery and Vienna: Generali Foundation, 1998.
