Volcán, 1979, color photograph Carolee Schneemann, Study for Up to and Including Her Limits, 1973, color © The Estate of Ana Mendieta Collection, LLC photograph, photo credit: Antony McCall Courtesy Galerie Lelong & Co., New York Courtesy of the Estate of Carolee Schneemann, Galerie Lelong & Co., and Licensed by Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York P·P·O·W, New York “These obsessive acts of re-asserting my ties with the earth are really a manifestation of my thirst for being.” Ana Mendieta Galerie Lelong & Co. and P·P·O·W present Irrigation Veins: Ana Mendieta and Carolee Schneemann, Selected Works 1966 – 1983, an online exhibition exploring the artists’ parallel histories, iconographies, and shared affinities for ancient forms and the natural world. Galerie Lelong and P·P·O·W have a history of collaboration and have co-represented Carolee Schneemann since 2017. This will be the first time the two artists are shown together in direct dialogue, an exhibition Schneemann proposed during the last year of her life. In works such as Mendieta’s Volcán (1979) and Schneemann’s Study for Up To and Including Her Limits (1973), both artists harnessed physical action to root themselves into the earth, establishing their ties to the earth and asserting bodily agency in the face of societal restraints and repression. Both artists identified as painters prior to activating their bodies as material; Mendieta received a MA in painting from the University of Iowa in 1972, and Schneemann received an MFA from the University of Illinois in 1961.

  • Fresh Meat Rituals: Confronting the Flesh in Performance Art
    FRESH MEAT RITUALS: CONFRONTING THE FLESH IN PERFORMANCE ART A THESIS IN Art History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS By MILICA ACAMOVIC B.A., Saint Louis University, 2012 Kansas City, Missouri 2016 © 2016 MILICA ACAMOVIC ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FRESH MEAT RITUALS: CONFRONTING THE FLESH IN PERFORMANCE ART Milica Acamovic, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2003 ABSTRACT Meat entails a contradictory bundle of associations. In its cooked form, it is inoffensive, a normal everyday staple for most of the population. Yet in its raw, freshly butchered state, meat and its handling provoke feelings of disgust for even the most avid of meat-eaters. Its status as a once-living, now dismembered body is a viscerally disturbing reminder of our own vulnerable bodies. Since Carolee Schneeman's performance Meat Joy (1964), which explored the taboo nature of enjoying flesh as Schneeman and her co- performers enthusiastically danced and wriggled in meat, many other performance artists have followed suit and used raw meat in abject performances that focus on bodily tensions, especially the state of the body in contemporary society. I will examine two contemporary performances in which a ritual involving the use of raw meat, an abject and disgusting material, is undertaken in order to address the violence, dismemberment and guilt that the body undergoes from political and societal forces. In Balkan Baroque (1997), Marina Abramović spent three days cleansing 1,500 beef bones of their blood and gristle amidst an installation that addressed both the Serbo-Croatian civil war and her personal life.

  • 07.Blood and Ritual. Ancient Aesthetics In
    Blood and ritual: ancient aesthetics in feminist and social art in Latin America Emilia Quiñones Otal Introduction The work of contemporary artists Regina José Galindo and Lorena Wolffer has been characterized by its harsh social criticism. While both are primarily known for their work against gender violence, they have also addressed other problems in their regions, such as oppressive governments, wars, and the imperialism they are subjected to due to the political, economic, and cultural intervention of the United States. Galindo was born in Guatemala and has worked there throughout her career. Her art has been exhibited around the world, including at the Venice Biennale, where in 2005 she was awarded a Golden Lion in the category of "artists under 30." Wolffer is Mexican and, like Galindo, she has had an international impact. Both have developed an art full of striking elements, including blood, aimed at disturbing the viewer, and both use very contemporary methods, including performance, video art, and complex art projects in which the audience interacts with the piece and where one single piece may consist of written, recorded, photographed, and theatrical elements. This paper will examine the artists who have had the greatest impact on these two contemporary women in terms of theme, style, and symbolism. One performance each by Galindo and by Wolffer will be addressed in particular. The theme and many formal symbolic elements are common to both performances, which are characterized by a very strong critique of social problems in their countries, including the economic crisis, corruption, military interventions, rape, and the problems faced by the indigenous people of Guatemala.

Though Woodman is physically present within these works, the images break from the historical tradition of “self-por- Francesca Woodman traiture” in a variety of ways. There is no visual claim that these images are depicting the artist as one may find in earlier prototypes Michael Rose where artists often portrayed themselves with the tools of their trade. For instance, in the self-portrait of seventeenth century Dutch painter Judith Leyster, the artist makes a concerted effort to depict herself in the role of an artist. Leyster leans back jauntily in her chair and holds out the instrument of her craft, her paintbrush. A The photos that Francesca Woodman created during her canvas representing her productivity is seen in front of her as she short life (1958-1981) are at once striking and subtle, often provoc- engages the viewer with her gaze. This conceit is not relevant for ative but also playful. There is a constant character of exploration Woodman who, working in the mid-twentieth century, would have that defines her work. Among all of the themes and concepts seen the art-making process quite differently from her seventeenth Woodman plays with in the work, there are two shared traits that century counterpart. Woodman, as a student, is said to have used seem particularly pre-eminent: the dual themes of transformation herself as the model for her works mainly due to the convenience and disappearance.

  • The Body in Performance a Study Room Guide on Body Based Practices
    The Body in Performance A Study Room Guide on body based practices Compiled by Franko B 2005 LADA Study Room Guides As part of the continuous development of the Study Room we regularly commission artists and thinkers to write personal Study Room Guides on specific themes. The idea is to help navigate Study Room users through the resource, enable them to experience the materials in a new way and highlight materials that they may not have otherwise come across. All Study Room Guides are available to view in our Study Room, or can be viewed and/or downloaded directly from their Study Room catalogue entry. Please note that materials in the Study Room are continually being acquired and updated. For details of related titles acquired since the publication of this Guide search the online Study Room catalogue with relevant keywords and use the advance search function to further search by category and date. Cover image credit: Franko B, I Miss You!, Tate Modern 2003, Photographer Hugo Glendinning The Body Study Room Guide by Franko B (2004/5) Franko B was invited to produce a guide looking at body based practices, including works employing the body as an artistic tool and site of representation. Franko approached the guide by drawing up a list of materials we hold that are important to him, of new materials we are in the process of acquiring and of materials he has generously donated to the Study Room. To accompany his list of recommendations he also conducted an interview with Dominic Johnson discussing his choices, their significance to him and to understandings of the possibilities of Live Art.

Judy Chicago: Visions for Feminist Art Abstract Controversy, awe, and revelation distinguish Judy Chicago's now 40 year career in the art world. Chicago's large body of work is inseparable from her ideologies pertaining to women's crippling exclusion from male dominated disciplines within art, history, and society overall. Her work is characterized by a desire to establish feminine iconography ("central-core imagery") and create a feminist lexicon applicable to the arts as to validate and celebrate women's experience. Viewing her artwork as a tool for social change and dialogue, Chicago has incorporated collaboration and consciousness-raising into her art making process. Thus, her collaborators gain not only the participation of creating the works, but also share in the cultivation of a female (art) history.
