This dissertation identifies a kind of feminist architecture that constructs physical as well as conceptual space within the constraints of the status quo. I focus on three contemporary artists who challenge supposedly universal or neutral spatial constructions, engaging the architectural in their site-specific performance and installation works. Yve Laris Cohen, Park McArthur, and Simone Leigh work with the performativity of everyday objects and structures to tell a different story about subjectivity and space. They each approach architecture as an expansive set of relations that holds institutions and institutional bodies in place. Working against impulses to burn down the house or build on a blank slate, their feminist acts of construction both emerge from and critique already established ecologies of living and working. The artists I study here place the following issues at the forefront of their spatial practice: the labor and economics of cultural production (Laris Cohen); access, intimacy, dependency, and care (McArthur); and the aesthetic and caring practices associated with constructions of black female subjectivity (Leigh). In their varied practices, they offer alternatives to normative spatial logics by foregrounding histories, subjectivities, and material processes that are typically relegated to the background of architectural experience. While the matter of an institution certainly exceeds the architectural, this dissertation posits that the perceived static and neutral character of the spatial maintains the conception that the built environment is passively containing social conflict and experience. I argue that this limits the kinds of political engagements we can have with institutions and other environments that shape our everyday.
