Carolee Schneemann: Mysteries of the Iconographies

Friday, November 18, 2011, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Kane Hall RM 130
$10 Henry Members, Students and UW Staff | $15 General Audience
Advance tickets strongly recommended.

In this performative/lecture—a format pioneered by the artist and employed throughout her career—Schneemann, as she describes it, “travels backwards and forwards in time.” During the lecture the artist will analyze recurring formal properties of her work, beginning with obsessive childhood drawings of a staircase. She will also explore the mysteries of a notched stick, paper folds, indentations, the slice of line in space, and her recent photographic grids and objects.

This lecture will be presented as part of the Henry’s symposium Streaming in from the Moon which will explore the complex and controversial themes of feminism, performance, and the body through a series of performances, lectures, public forums, film screenings, and other opportunities for public discourse.

The retrospective exhibition Carolee Schneemann: Within and Beyond the Premises was first curated by Brian Wallace for the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at the State University of New York at New Paltz (2010) and is organized for the Henry by Chief Curator Elizabeth Brown, in partnership with the Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The presentation at the Henry is made possible by the generous support of the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation and Steven Johnson and Walter Sudol.
