Carolee Schneemann, RIP

Carolee Schneemann died today, at the age of 79. She is best known for her films Meat Joy (1964) and Fuses (1965) and for her performances Interior Scroll (1975) and Up to and Including Her Limits. 

Schneemann's published books include Cezanne, She Was a Great Painter (1976), Early and Recent Work (1983), and More Than Meat Joy: Performance Works and Selected Writings (1979, 1997. She taught at a number of institutions, including New York University, the California Institute of the Arts, and Bard College (where she was once a student, until the school kicked her out for painting nude self-portraits).

Schneemann was not awarded her first museum retrospective until decades into her career - in 1996 at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York. Two years ago she won the Venice Biennale’s Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement award.
