Mika Rottenberg’s Cheese, 2007, a room-size video installation first seen in the 2008 Whitney Biennial. Exemplifying the artist’s unique approach to art making, Cheesecombines the typical view of the farm girl, complete with a rough wooden animal pen, with the fairy tale Rapunzel. Here, six long-hair maidens in white gowns “milk” their hair and goats to make cheese. representing Mother Nature, the women and these activities illustrate for Rottenberg the ability of the female to “grow things out of the body.”
