Body of work: Screening, dance party in Hudson to celebrate Carolee Schneeman

Though they may not all realize it, contemporary women artists who are trying to reclaim the female body from the male gaze owe a great deal to pioneering painter/photographer/filmmaker/performance artist Carolee Schneeman, who first broke a lot of that ground beginning in the late 1950s. Her works, most famously Eye Body (1963), Meat Joy (1964), Fuses (1967), Interior Scroll (1975) and Up to and Including Her Limits (1976), celebrated female corporeality and challenged body taboos in ways deemed far too transgressive by critics of the time. But eventually the art world caught up with her, and the Venice Biennale awarded Schneeman its Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 2017. She died on March 6.

Schneeman, a Bard graduate who lived for many decades in a house on the outskirts of New Paltz that was reputed to have been a rural hideaway during Hollywood’s Golden Era for orgies attended by the likes of Errol Flynn, also had a special attachment to the City of Hudson. “Carolee loved Hudson and one of her last wishes was to throw a party in her honor at Second Ward Foundation,” say the organizers of the tribute that’s happening on Saturday evening, May 18.

The event, titled “A Celebration: Carolee Schneemann (1939-2019),” begins with a screening at 5 p.m. of Breaking the Frame (2012), a documentary film by Marielle Nitoslawska profiling Schneeman. It will be presented at Hudson Hall, at 327 Warren Street in Hudson. From 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., a dance party will follow at the Second Ward Foundation, located at 71 North Third Street in Hudson. There will be a cash bar and complimentary hors d’oeuvres, deejaying by Tedd Patterson and a performance by Davon. A selection of Schneeman’s artwork will be on view in the side gallery.

Admission is free to both the screening and the party, but reservations are recommended, at https://sforce.co/30o599J for the film screening and https://bit.ly/2VDUI30 for the dance party. A donation of $50 to the Carolee Schneemann Foundation entitles you to an open bar throughout the night. To learn more, visit www.secondward.org/upcoming.html and https://bit.ly/2VqDocK.

Saturday, May 18, 5 p.m.: Breaking the Frame screening, Free, Hudson Hall, 327 Warren St., Hudson, https://bit.ly/2VqDocK

8 p.m.: Dance party/art exhibition, Free admission/$50 open bar, Second Ward Foundation, 71 North Third St., Hudson, RSVP https://bit.ly/2VDUI30

Frances Marion Platt

Frances Marion Platt has been a feature writer (and copyeditor) for Ulster Publishing since 1994, under both her own name and the nom de plume Zhemyna Jurate. Her reporting beats include Gardiner and Rosendale, the arts and a bit of local history. In 2011 she took up Syd M’s mantle as film reviewer for Alm@nac Weekly, and she hopes to return to doing more of that as HV1 recovers from the shock of COVID-19. A Queens native, Platt moved to New Paltz in 1971 to earn a BA in English and minor in Linguistics at SUNY. Her first writing/editing gig was with the Ulster County Artist magazine. In the 1980s she was assistant editor of The Independent Film and Video Monthly for five years, attended Heartwood Owner/Builder School, designed and built a timberframe house in Gardiner. Her son Evan Pallor was born in 1995. Alternating with her journalism career, she spent many years doing development work – mainly grantwriting – for a variety of not-for-profit organizations, including six years at Scenic Hudson. She currently lives in Kingston.
