Schneemann's family was generally supportive of her naturalness and freeness with her body.cite book| last = Montano|first = Linda|authorlink=Linda Montano |chapter = Interview with Linda Montano | title = Imaging Her Erotics: Essays, Interviews, Projects |year = 2001 |publisher =
MIT Press |isbn=026269297X |pages = p. 131] She noted her father especially so, attributing this to the fact that he was a rural physician who had to often deal with the body in various states of health. As a child, her friends described her as "a madpantheist ", due to her relationship and respect for nature.Montano, p. 132.] Schneemann cites her earliest connections between art and sexuality to her drawings from ages four and five, which she drew on her father's prescription tablets.Schneemann was awarded a full scholarship from New York's
Bard College .cite book| last = ND|chapter = Interview with ND | title = Imaging Her Erotics: Essays, Interviews, Projects |year = 2001 |publisher =MIT Press |isbn=026269297X |pages = p. 113] She was the first woman from her family to attend college and her father discouraged her from an art education. While at Bard, she began to realize the differences between male and female perceptions of each other's bodies while serving as a nude model for her boyfriend's portraits and while painting nude self-portraits.Montano, p. 132-133.] While on leave from Bard and on a separate scholarship toColumbia University , she met musicianJames Tenney , who was attendlingThe Juilliard School . Her first experience with experimental film was throughStan Brakhage , who was friends with her and Tenney. After graduating from Bard, Schneemann attended theUniversity of Illinois for her graduate degree.Early work
Carolee Schneemann began her art career as a painter in the late 1950s. Her painting work began to adopt some of the characteristics of
Neo-Dada art, as she used box structures coupled withexpressionist brushwork. These constructs share the heavily textural characteristics found in the work of artists such asRobert Rauschenberg . Schneemann described the atmosphere in the art community at this time asmisogynistic and that female artists of the time were not aware of their bodies.cite news | work =The Globe and Mail |page = R18 |last = Vaughan |first = R.

She still described herself as a formalist however, unlike other feminist artists who wanted to distance themselves from male-oriented art history.cite journal|url = http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/wide_angle/v020/20.1schneemann.html |title = An Interview with Carolee Schneemann |first = Kate |last = Haug |journal = Wide Angle | volume = 20 |issue = 1 |pages = 20–49 |accessdate = 2007-02-03 |year = 1998] Schneemann became involved with the art movement ofhappenings when she organized "A Journey through a Disrupted Landscape", inviting people to "crawl, climb, negotiate rocks, climb, walk, go through mud".ND, p. 114.] Soon thereafter she metAllan Kaprow , the primary figure of happenings in addition to artistsRed Grooms andJim Dine . Influenced by figures such asSimone de Beauvoir ,Antonin Artaud ,Wilhelm Reich , and Kaprow, Schneemann found herself drawn away from painting.In 1962, Schneemann moved with James Tenney from their residence in Illinois to New York when Tenney obtained a job with
Bell Laboratories as an experimental composer. Through one of Tenney's colleagues at Bell,Billy Klüver , Schneemann was able to meet figures such asClaes Oldenberg ,Merce Cunningham ,John Cage , and Robert Rauschenberg which got her involved with theJudson Memorial Church 's art program. There, she participated in works such as Oldenberg's "Store Days" (1962) and Robert Morris's "Site" (1964) where she played a living version ofÉdouard Manet 's "Olympia". She began to use her nude body in works, feeling that it needed to be seized back from the status of a cultural possession. Schneemann got to personally know many New York musicians and composers in the 1960s as well, includingGeorge Brecht ,Malcolm Goldstein ,Philip Glass ,Terry Riley , andSteve Reich .ND, p. 116.] She was also highly interested in the abstract expressionists of the time, such asWillem de Kooning .ND, p. 117.] However, despite her numerous connections in the art world, Schneeman's painting-constructions did not generate interest from New York art dealers, though Oldenburg suggested that there would have been more interest from Europe. The first support for Schneemann's work came from poets such as Robert Kelly,David Antin , and Paul Blackburn who published some of her writings.ND, p. 118.]Production on Schneemann's work "Eye Body" began in 1962. Schneemann created a "loft environment" filled with broken mirrors, motorized umbrellas, and rhythmic color units.cite journal| url = http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0004-3249%28199124%2950%3A4%3C28%3ATOB%3E2.0.CO%3B2-%23 |title = The Obscene Body/Politic |pages = 28–35 |first = Carolee |last=Schneemann |volume = 50 |year = 1991 |month = Winter |journal = Art Journal |accessdate = 2007-01-31 |issue = 4 |doi = 10.2307/777320] To become a piece of the art herself, Schneemann covered herself in various materials including grease, chalk, and plastic. She created 36 "transformative-actions" - photographs by Icelandic artist
Erró of herself in her constructed environment.cite web|url = http://www.caroleeschneemann.com/eyebody.html |title = Eye Body: 36 Transformative Actions 1963 | accessdate = 2007-01-31 |work = Caroleeschneemann.com] Including these images is a frontal nude featuring two garden snakes crawling on Schneemann's torso. This image drew particular attention both for its "archaic eroticism" and her visibleclitoris . Schneemann claims that she did not know at the time of the symbolism of the serpent in ancient cultures in figures such as theMinoan Snake Goddess and, in fact, learned of it years later.ND, p. 121.] Upon its presentation to the public in 1963, art critics found the piece to be lewd and pornographic. ArtistValie Export notes "Eye Body" for the way in which Schneemann portrays "how random fragments of her memory and personal elements of her environment are superimposed on her perception."cite journal|url = http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0094-033X%28198921%2F22%290%3A47%3C69%3AAOFA%3E2.0.CO%3B2-5 |title = Aspects of Feminist Actionism |last = Export |first = Valie |authorlink = Valie Export |year = 1989 |month = Spring-Summer |pages = 69–92 |journal = New German Critique |volume = 47 |doi = 10.2307/488108]Meat and film
The 1964 piece "Meat Joy" revolved around eight partially nude figures dancing and playing with various objects and substances including wet paint, sausage, raw fish, scraps of paper, and raw chickens.cite news |title = An Innovator Who Was the Eros of Her Own Art |last = Newman |first = Amy |date=

She described the piece as an "erotic rite" and an indulgent Dionysian "celebration of flesh as material." "Meat Joy" is similar to the art formhappenings in that they both use improvisation and focused on conception, rather than execution.cite news |url = http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D00E0DE173FF935A35751C1A960958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all |work =New York Times |title = Of a Woman's Body as Both Subject and Object |date=1996-12-06 |accessdate=2007-11-24 |last = Glueck |first = Grace] Though her work of the 1960s was more performance-based, she continued to build assemblages such as theJoseph Cornell -influenced "Native Beauties" (1962-64), "Music Box Music" (1964), and "Pharaoh's Daughter" (1966).cite journal |journal =Art in America |title = The arrogance of pleasure - body art, Carolee Schneemann |last = Princenthal |first = Nancy |month = October |year = 1997 |accessdate=2007-11-24 |url = http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1248/is_n10_v85/ai_19897831 ] Her "Letter to Lou Andreas Salome" (1965) expressed Schneemann's philosophical interests by combining scrawlings ofNietzsche andTolstoy with a Rauschenberg-like form.In 1964, Schneemann began production of her film "Fuses", eventually finishing it in 1967. "Fuses" portrayed Schneemann and her then-boyfriend
James Tenney having sex as recorded by a16 mm Bolex camera. Schneemann then altered the film by staining, burning, and directly drawing on the celluloid itself, mixing the concepts of painting and collage. The segments were edited together at varying speeds and superimposed with photographs of nature, which she juxtaposed against her and Tenney's bodies and sexual actions.cite journal |last = MacDonald |first =Scott |journal =Film Quarterly |volume = 34 |issue = 1 |month = Autumn |year = 1980 |pages = pp. 27–32 | url = http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0015-1386%28198023%2934%3A1%3C27%3ACS%22T%3E2.0.CO%3B2-L |title = Carolee Schneemann's "Autobiographical Trilogy" |accessdate=2007-11-09 |doi = 10.1525/fq.1980.34.1.04a00060] "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 artcite web|work = American Sexuality |publisher =National Sexuality Resource Center |title = Hear Her Roar: Carolee Schneemann transforms art and discourse on the body, sexuality, and gender |url=http://nsrc.sfsu.edu/MagArticle.cfm?Article=411&PageID=0 |accessdate=2007-03-27 |date=2005-03-22 |author = NSRC staff] as well as a reaction to Stan Brakhage's "Window Water Baby Moving ". She showed the film to her contemporaries as she worked on it in 1965 and 1966, receiving mostly positive feedback from her peers. Many critics though described it as "narcissistic exhibitionism" and described it as self-indulgent. She received an especially strong reaction regarding thecunnilingus scene of the film. While "Fuses" is viewed as a "proto-feminist" film, Schneemann feels that it was largely neglected by feminist film historians. The film lacked the fetishism and objectification of the female body as seen in much male-oriented pornography.cite journal |last = Birringer |first = Johannes |authorlink = Johannes Birringer |journal = PAJ |volume = 15 |issue = 2 |year = 1993 |month = May |pages = pp. 45–46 |url = http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0735-8393%28199305%2915%3A2%3C31%3AIARCSV%3E2.0.CO%3B2-U |title = Imprints and Re-Visions: Carolee Schneemann's Visual Archeology |accessdate=2007-11-09] Two years after its completion, it won aCannes Film Festival Special Jury Selection prize. Pop artistAndy Warhol , with whom Schneemann was acquainted, having spent time atThe Factory , drolly remarked that Schneemann should have taken the film toHollywood .ND, p. 125.] "Fuses" became the first in Carolee Schneemann's "Autobiographical Trilogy". Though her works of the 1960s such as this shared many of the same ideas with the concurrentFluxus artists, she remained independent of any specific movement. They did, however, form the groundwork for thefeminist art movement of the late 1960s and 1970s. Schneemann points out that the sexuality of the film overrides its formal and structural aspects to many viewers.Schneemann began work on the next film, "Plumb Line", in her "Autobiographical Trilogy" in 1968. The film opens with a still shot of a man's face with a
plumb line in front of it before the entire image begins to burn. Various images including Schneemann and the man appear in different quadrants of the frame while a discombobulating soundtrack consisting of music, sirens, and cat noises among other things play in the background. The sound and visuals grow more intense as the film progresses, with Schneemann narrating about a period of physical and emotional illness. The film ends with Schneemann attacking a series of projected images and a repetition of the opening segment of the film. During a showing of "Plumb Line" at a women's film festival, the film was booed for the image of the man at the beginning of the film.In 1975, Schneemann performed "Interior Scroll", a Fluxus-influenced piece featuring her use of text and body. In her performance, Schneemann entered wrapped in a sheet, under which she wore an apron. She disrobed and then got on a table where she outlined her body with dark paint. Several times, she would take "action poses", similar to those in figure drawing classes.cite journal |journal = TDR |publisher =
MIT Press |accessdate=2007-01-31 |url = http://www.jstor.org/view/10542043/ap040010/04a00050/0 |volume = 41 |pages = 43–60 | issue = 1 |first = Kathy |last = O'Dell |month = Spring |year = 1997 | title=Fluxus Feminus | doi=10.2307/1146571 | format=Dead link|date=May 2008] Concurrently, she read from her book "Cézanne, She Was a Great Painter". Following this, she dropped the book and slowly extracted from hervagina a scroll which she read from. Schneemann's feminist scroll speech, according to performance theorist Jeanie Forte, made it seem as if " [Schneemann] 's vagina itself is reporting [...] sexism". Art criticRobert C. Morgan states that it is necessary to acknowledge the period during which "Interior Scroll" was produced in order to understand it. He argues that by placing the source of artistic creativity at the female genitals, Schneemann is changing the masculine overtones ofminimalist art andconceptual art into a feminist exploration of her body. "Interior Scroll", along withJudy Chicago 's "Dinner Party", helped pioneer many of the ideas later popularized by theoff-broadway show "The Vagina Monologues ".cite journal |journal = Hypatia |year = 2005 | volume = 20 |issue = 1 |pages = pp. 110–111 |last = Hall |first = Kim Q. |title = Queerness, Disability, and The Vagina Monologues |accessdate=2007-11-05 |url = http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/hypatia/v020/20.1hall.html]In 1978, Schneemann finished the last film, "Kitch's Last Meal", in what was later called her "Autobiographical Trilogy".
1980s and beyond
In the 1980s, Schneemann says that her work was sometimes considered by various feminist groups to be an insufficient response to many feminist issues of the time.
Schneemann's 1994 piece "Mortal Coils" commemorated fifteen friends and colleagues who had died over the period of two years including
Hannah Wilke ,John Cage , andCharlotte Moorman . The piece consisted of rotating mechanisms from which hung coiled ropes while slides of the commemorated artists were shown on the walls.In December 2001, she unveiled "Terminal Velocity", which consisted of a group of photographs of people falling to their deaths from the
World Trade Center following theSeptember 11, 2001 attacks .cite journal |journal =Art in America |last = Valdez |first = Sarah |accessdate = 2007-11-09 |url = http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1248/is_6_94/ai_n16533205 |year = 2006 |month = June-July | title = Carolee Schneemann at P.P.O.W ] cite news |work =The Boston Globe |url = http://www.boston.com/ae/theater_arts/articles/2007/11/08/taking_control_with_her_bodies_of_work/ |title = Taking control with her bodies of work |first = Cate |last = McQuaid | date=2007-11-08 |accessdate=2007-11-09] Along with another of Schneemann's works which used the same images, "Dark Pond", Schneemann sought to "personalize" the victims of the attack.Schneemann as quoted in cite web |url = http://www.artnet.com/magazineus/reviews/scobie/scobie2-2-06.asp |last = Scobie |first = Ilka |title = Corporeal |work = artnet.com |accessdate=2007-11-09 |quote = The sequences personalize individuals who in their normal workday were thrown by impact into a gravitational plunge, or chose to escape incineration by leaping into space.] To achieve this, she digitally enhanced and enlarged the figures in the images, isolating the figures from the surroundings.cite journal |url = http://brooklynrail.org/2006/2/artseen/carolee-schneemann |journal = The Brooklyn Rail |month = February |year = 2006 |last = Buhmann |first = Stephanie |title = Carolee Schneemann: P.P.O.W | accessdate=2007-11-09]Schneemann continues to produce art, including the 2007 installation "Devour", which featured videos of recent wars contrasted with everyday images of United States daily life on dual screens.
Themes
One of Schneemann's primary focuses in her work is the separation between eroticism and the politics of gender. Her cat Kitch, which was featured in works such as "Fuses" (1967) and "Kitch's Last Meal" (1978), was a major figure in Schneemann's work for almost twenty years.cite web |url = http://www.timeout.com/newyork/article/23687/carolee-schneemann-remains-to-be-seen-new-and-restored-films-and-videos-with-video | work =
Time Out New York | title = Carolee Schneemann: “Remains to Be Seen: New and Restored Films and Videos” |date =2007-10-25 |accessdate=2007-11-09] She used Kitch as an "objective" observer to her and Tenney's sexual activities, as she stated that she was unaffected by humanmores . One of her later cats, Vesper, was featured in the photographic series "Infinity Kisses" (1986). In a wall-size collection of 140 photos, Schneemann documents herself kissing Vesper and documents "the artist at life".She lists as an aesthetic influence on herself and
James Tenney the poetCharles Olson , especially to the collage "Maximus at Gloucester" but also in general, "in relationship to his concern for deep imagery, sustained metaphor, and also that he had been researching Tenney’s ancestors", despite his occasional sexist comments [ [http://gregcookland.com/journal/2007_10_28_archive.html Carolee Schneemann Speaks] , "New England Journal of Aesthetic Research". Posted Oct. 11, 2007.] .Painting
Schneemann considers her photographic and body pieces to still be based in painting despite appearing otherwise on the surface.cite book |title =Imaging Her Erotics: Essays, Interviews, Projects |last = Stiles|first = Kristine|year = 2003 |publisher =
MIT Press |location =Cambridge, Massachusetts |isbn=026269297X |chapter=The Painter as an Instrument of Real Time |pages = p. 3 ] She has described herself as "A painter who has left the canvas to activate actual space and lived time." She cites her studies with painterPaul Brach as teaching her to "understand the stroke as an event in time" and to think of her performers as "colors in three dimensions." Schneemann took the ideas found in her figurative abstract paintings of the 1950s, where she cut and destroyed layers of paint from their surfaces, and transferred them to her photographic work "Eye Body".Stiles, p. 4.] Art history professorKristine Stiles asserts that Schneemann's entireoeuvre is devoted to exploring the concepts of figure-ground, relationality (both through use of her body), and similitude (through the use of cats and trees).Stiles, p. 8.] Stiles asserts that the issues of sex and politics in Schneemann's work merely dictate how the art is shaped, rather than the formal concepts found behind it.Stiles, p. 11.] For example, Schneemann relates the colors and movement featured in "Fuses" to brush strokes in painting. Her 1976 piece "Up to and Including Her Limits", too, invoked the gestural brush strokes of the abstract expressionists with Scheemann swinging from ropes and scribbling with crayons onto a variety of surfaces.Feminism and body
Schneemann acknowledges that she is often labeled as a feminist icon and that she is an influential figure to female artists, but she also notes that she reaches out to male artists as well. Though she is noted for being a feminist figure, her works explore issues in art and rely heavily on her broad knowledge of art history.cite journal | journal = PAJ |last = Marranca |first = Bonnie | pages = p. 16 |url = http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/performing_arts_journal/v028/28.1marranca02.html |volume = 28 |issue = 1 |year = 2005 |title = Performance, a Personal History |accessdate=2007-11-07] cite journal |journal = PAJ |last = Thompson |first = Chris |coauthors = Katarina Weslien |title = Pure Raw: Performance, Pedagogy, and (Re)presentation - Marina Abramovic |url = http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/performing_arts_journal/v028/28.1thompson.html |pages = p. 40 |volume = 28 |issue = 1 |year = 2005| accessdate=2007-11-07] Though works such as "Eye Body" were meant to explore the processes of painting and assemblage, rather than to address feminist topics, they still possess a strong female presence.
Unlike much other feminist art, Schneemann's revolves around sexual expression and liberation, rather than referring to victimization or repression of women.cite journal |last = Marranca |first = Bonnie |title = Book Review: Bodies of Action, Bodies of Thought: Performance and Its Critics |volume = 21 |issue = 1 |year = 1999 |pages = p. 20 |journal = PAJ | accessdate= 2007-11-07 |url = http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/performing_arts_journal/v021/21.1br_ferguson.html] According to artist and lecturer
Johannes Birringer , Schneemann's work resists thepolitical correctness enforced by some branches of feminism as well as ideologies which feminists claim aremisogynist , such aspsychoanalysis .Birringer, pp. 34-35, 44.] He also asserts that Schneemann's work is difficult to classify and analyze as it combinesconstructivist and painterly concepts with her physical body and energy. In her 1976 book "Cézanne, She Was A Great Painter", Schneemann wrote that she used nudity in her artwork to break taboos associated with the kinetic human body and to show that "the life of the body is more variously expressive than a sex-negative society can admin.""Cezanne, She Was A Great Painter" as quoted in cite journal |journal = Woman's Art Journal |volume = 1 |issue = 1 |last = Semmel |first = Joan | coauthors = April Kingsley |title = Sexual Imagery in Women's Art |url = http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0270-7993%28198021%2F22%291%3A1%3C1%3ASIIWA%3E2.0.CO%3B2-6 |pages = p. 6 |accessdate = 2007-11-08] She also stated, "In some sense I made a gift of my body to other women; giving our bodies back to ourselves." She preferred her term "art istorical" (without the "h"), so as to reject the "his" in history.cite book| last = Jones |first = Amelia |authorlink = Amelia Jones |pages = p. 160 |title = Body Art: Performing the Subject |year = 1998 |chapter = The Rhetoric of the Pose: Hannah Wilke]Influence and legacy
As much of Schneemann's work is performance-based, photographs, video documentation, sketches, and artist's notes are often used to examine her work.
It was not until the 1990s when Schneemann's work began to become recognized as important works of feminist art.cite journal |url = http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/wide_angle/v020/20.1koebel.html |volume = 20 |issue = 1 |year = 1998 |pages = pp. 50–57 | first = Caroline |last = Koebel |title = From Danger to Ascendancy: Notes Toward Carolee Schneemann | journal = Wide Angle |accessdate=2007-11-05] The first prominent exhibition of her work was the 1996 retrospective "Up To and Including Her Limits", named for her 1973 work of the same title. It was held at
New York City 'sNew Museum of Contemporary Art and was organized by senior curator Dan Cameron. Previously, these works were dismissed asnarcissism or otherwise overly sexualized forms of expression.Critic Jan Avgikos wrote in 1997, "Prior to Schneemann, the female body in art was mute and functioned almost exclusively as a mirror of masculine desire." Critics have also noted that the reaction to Schneemann's work has changed since its original performance. Nancy Princenthal notes that modern viewers of "Meat Joy" are still squeamish about it; however, now the reaction is also due to the biting of raw chicken or the men hauling women over their shoulders.
