Carolee Schneemann: Body Politics

Barbican Centre

‘Carolee Schneemann: Body Politics’, at the Barbican is the first major UK survey of the artist’s work and spans over 60 years of her transgressive and interdisciplinary practice.⁠
⁠
The exhibition design employs walls of semi-translucent fabric, infused with gradients of orangey red that both cloud and reveal views through the exhibition. These fabric interventions reference the performative aspects of Schneemann’s practice, as the visitor weaves within the spaces and experiences the work with an intimate proximity.
