Remains To Be Seen: New and Restored Films and Videos of Carolee Schneeman

Anthology, EAI, and PERFORMA07 join together to celebrate the indomitable Carolee Schneemann. With a prolific oeuvre that spans 40-plus years of activity, Schneemann never ceases to cross all mediums, thresholds or boundaries. Whether making handcrafted diary films, provocative performances, photos, paintings or installations, Scheneeman??™s varied creations resonate with raw poetic power. In words, images and actions, Scheneeman deconstructs our ingrained preconceptions and everyday assumptions. Her art is deeply personal, sharply critical, intensely expressive and always incredibly honest.

Remains To Be Seen is an opportunity to discover recent videos by Schneemann alongside brand-new preservation prints of seminal film works. Anthology is ecstatic to debut the preservation of Kitch??™s Last Meal, a film originally presented as a vertical double-super-8mm projection. A second program will feature the NYC premiere of Anthology??™s stunning restoration of Fuses, alongside newly discovered and preserved Schneeman films from EAI and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Programs in REMAIN TO BE SEEN:

Nov 15: Restorations & New Works

During this very special event, Douglas Dunn, David Gordon, Nancy Lewis, and Yvonne Rainer, all members of legendary improvisational group Grand Union--which also included Trisha Brown, Barbara Dilley, and Steve Paxton--will reunite for the first time since the group??™s dissolution in 1976. Grand Union (1970-76)--which evolved in part out of Yvonne Rainer??™s landmark work Continuous Project??”Altered Daily (1970), an ongoing performance project that put the dance-making process on full display for spectators--was a collective of choreographers that created lively group improvisations investigating the nature of performance through movement, spoken text, and props. On this evening, excerpts from never-before-seen tapes documenting a series of 1972 performances by Grand Union at the Joe LoGiudice gallery in SoHo will be screened, with live commentary (and control over the remote!) by group members themselves.

DANCE AFTER CHOREOGRAPHY
In the early 1960s, a loose coalition of artists, choreographers, and musicians held a series of performances at the Judson Church in Greenwich Village that radically broke with the conventions of concert dance. The so-called ???post-modern??? dances created by the Judson Dance Theater, as the group came to be known, reduced the medium to its most essential elements, discarding drama and expressionism in favor of pedestrian movement, repetitive structures, and improvisation, and rejecting the notion of the artist/performer as virtuoso in favor of ???democratic??? dance. The concepts behind their groundbreaking performances had much to do with conversations among minimalist sculptors and musicians at the time, and many visual artists--including Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, and Robert Morris--were active participants in a period that was remarkable for its fluidity between disciplines. DANCE AFTER CHOREOGRAPHY, a film program presented at Anthology as a part of the PERFORMA07 biennial, looks at how the Judson Dance Theater took apart the conceptual underpinnings of ???choreography,??? an intellectual process that greatly affected artists creating body-centric work, and remains pervasive today.
