Carolee Schneemann é uma das figuras cruciais na performance e na Body Art dos anos 60. O seu trabalho centra-se em torno do corpo e da sua posição como sujeito feminino do mundo, tocando todos os géneros de arte como a pintura, a fotografia, a performance, e até vídeo instalação. É uma artista que luta para transformar o discurso da arte sobre o corpo feminino, sexualidade e género. A sua busca de novas formas de expressão utilizando o corpo humano, gira em torno de uma investigação sobre a tradição falocêntrica da arte e dos tabus que existem sobre o corpo feminino como objecto e fetiche.Carolee Schneemann is an American performance artist, known for her discourses on the body, sexuality and gender. She received a B.A. from Bard College and an M.F.A. from the University of Illinois. A member of the Fluxus group, her work is primarily characterized by research into visual traditions, taboos, and the body of the individual in relationship to social bodies. Her works have been shown at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, the New York Museum of Modern Art, and the London National Film Theatre. Her most famous works include Eye Body: 36 Transformative Actions (1963), Meat Joy1964), and Interior Scroll (1975) Schneemann has taught at several universities, including the California Institute of the Arts, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Hunter College, and Rutgers University, where she was the first female art professor hired (1976). Additionally, she has published widely, producing works such as Cezanne, She Was a Great Painter (1976) and More than Meat Joy: Performance Works and Selected Writings (1997).ctrl C / ctrl V:UBU / Wikipédia/ Serralveshttp://www.caroleeschneemann.com/ Carolee Schneeman (b. 1939) Fuses1965. Self-shot. 16mm film. 18 min. In 1964, Schneemann began production of her film Fuses. Fuses was a mixture of collage and painting featuring Schneemann and her then-boyfriend James Tenney having sex. Fuses was motivated by Schneemann's desire to know if a woman's depiction of her own sexual acts was different from pornography and classical art.She showed the film to her contemporaries as she worked on it in 1965 and 1966, receiving mostly positive feedback, though some did think it was "narcissistic exhibitionism." She received an especially strong reaction regarding the cunnilingus scene of the film. While, Fuses is viewed as a "proto-feminist" film, Schneemann feels that it was largely neglected by feminist film historians.
