Carolee Schneemann, POCKET PLANNER, 1976
Dimensions: 27.5 x 33.5 cm
Program: The Pocket Planner shows a list of upcoming performances and exhibitions by Carolee Schneemann in 1976 across different locations in New York.

Carolee Schneemann performed her groundbreaking work Meat Joy in 1964. From then she was recognized as one of New York’s most significant performance artists in the 1960s and 1970s. From early on, Schneemann was situated within the Fluxus movement, and was part in the Judson Dance Theater circle. The artist largely made use of performance and video, which focused on the female body with feminist and political aims. Using her naked body as surface and vessel of action, Schneemann developed storylines about erotic pleasure and questions of gender identity. By provocatively exposing herself she often shocked her audiences.
Invitation: The poster/pocket planner shows two images from Schneemann’s performance Interior Scroll, taken during the performance series Women Here & Now at Ashawagh Hall in East Hampton.
