A Conversation with Caroleee Schneeman and Dan Cameron

December 4 1996

Artist Carolee Schneemann and Senior Curator Dan Cameron partook in an intimate dialogue about Schneemann’s career and art.  This conversation was presented in conjunction with the New Museum’s exhibit: “Carolee Schneemann: Up To And Including Her Limits.”1  

That exhibit was the first U.S. museum exhibition devoted to the work of Carolee Schneemann, who, since the 1960s, had been a key a figure in the development of performance and body-based art.  Using her own body as artistic medium, Schneemann introduced in her performance work of the 60s and 70s a raw physicality that challenged conventional ideas of the representation of women in art.2
