Artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles, who worked with Creative Time on a 1983/84 project in which she personally thanked each of NYC’s 8,500 sanitation workers (Sanitation CelebrationsTouch Sanitation Show), is giving a free talk at New School tomorrow (Feb. 5, 2013).

Fun Fact: To this day, Mierle Laderman Ukeles is the official, unsalaried artist-in-residence at the New York City Department of Sanitation.
