On the south side of Chicago, artist Frances Whitehead, professor of sculpture at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago, undertook "Slow Cleanup," a project that explored cultural heritage and embraced soil restoration, urban planning, phytoremediation research, and environmental justice. The work expands our conventional notions of cultural heritage to include the ubiquitous landscapes we create and to contend with their ecological and ethical implications.

Building on a tradition of ‘maintenance art’, Lillian Ball’s art project WATERWASH exhibits the power of soil, plants and microorganisms to clean water – in effect maintaining urban water. An overarching goal of WATERWASH is to educate  local people about the metabolism of urban water, causes of river pollution, and to familiarize them with the capacity of soil and plants to respond to that problem. I use Isabelle Stengers’ notion of ‘diplomacy’ to interrogate the efforts of the artist in negotiating and creating an occasion in which divergent interests can both recognize and maintain the relationships of care that sustain them. In effect, this effort extends the feminist discourse of maintenance work to include that undertaken by the ‘other-than-human’.
