Carolee Schneemann

from Then and Beyond

Edición de la obra Carolee Schneemann

"Edited by art historian Branden W. Joseph, the texts span diverse formats: included are journal entries, criticism, poems, essays and performance notes culled primarily from short-run magazines such as Caterpillar, Film Culture, The Fox, Manipulations and Matter, as well as academic journals such as Performing Arts Journal and Art Journal and mainstream media outlets including the New York Times and the Village Voice. The book serves as a companion to Schneemann's two earliest books - 'Parts of a Body House Book' and 'Cézanne, She Was a Great Painter' - offering new perspectives on the artist's life, work and ideas through many writings that have never been reproduced in their original form. It features Schneemann's reflections on her own works, including 'Meat Joy,' 'Divisions and Rubble,' and 'Kitch's Last Meal.'--Artbook& website (viewed on February 12, 2018). "'Uncollected Texts' draws together a number of Carolee Schneemann's earliest writings - many exceedingly rare and several publishered here for the first time - ranging from letters to the editor to dream journals, film criticism, satirical poems, detailed discussions of her art, and pointed feminist critiques. Dating from the mid-1950s to the early 1980s, the writings gathered in this volume shed light on some of Schneemann's most important artistic achievements, including her most famous 'kinetic theater' piece, 'Meat Joy'; anti-Vietnam War works such as 'Snows'; the multimedia performance 'Up to and Including Her Limits'; and the double-screen film 'Kitch's Last Meal'. Frequently referencing one another, the assembled writings create a densely interwoven tapestry of cross-references that provide unique insights into Schneemann's artistic development while also foregrounding the artist's uniquely poetic style."
