Carolee Schneemann

Here is an artist I find particuarly inspirational and intreguing.

Using shapes from the body, themes of the female, menstruation, politics (Marxism and other male dominated aspects of society) and artefact are all things that I relate to strongly. A perfomance and video artist, her work is very physical and strong.

Meat Joy
"Meat Joy has the character of an erotic rite: excessive, indulgent, a celebration of flesh as material: raw fish, chickens, sausages, wet paint, transparent plastic, rope brushes, paper scrap. It's propulsion is toward the ecstatic-- shifting and turning between tenderness, wilderness, precision, abandon: qualities which could at any moment be sensual, comic, joyous, repellent."
