Meet Carolee Schneemann
23 Oct 1–4.30 pm
In English
Admission free, The Auditorium

Carolee Schneemann is legendary for her performances Meat Joy and Interior Scroll in the 1960s and 70s, in which she appeared in the nude. But her oeuvre consists of much more than recitals of feminist texts extracted from her vagina – as in Interior Scroll – much more than bodies wallowing among chickens, fish and slabs of meat – as in Meat Joy. In connection with the project The Second Museum of our Wishes, the museum acquired photographic documentation of Interior Scroll.

Carolee Schneeann will give a "performative lecture". Talks by Kathleen Bühler, curator of contemporary art at Kunstmuseum Bern, Switzerland, and Hans Sternudd, researcher at Malmö University.
