There’s a certain recursive logic underlying the fact that Carolee Schneemann remains her own best historian. Her artwork is always in part a study of the body that produces it. Still, the various meanings of Schneemann’s works often only reveal themselves to her years or even decades after the fact. In this way, her embodied practice—guided by dreams, visions, and coincidences— also makes her like the historian who can only search for meaning after the fact. In this performative lecture Schneemann will discuss the symbolic and associative links that she continues to uncover amongst her varied works.
