A two-part exhibition jointly hosted by PPOW and Galerie Lelong “Further Evidence — Exhibit A and Further Evidence — Exhibit B” by American visual artist Carolee Schneemann will be on view from October 21 through December 3, 2016. The exhibition will merge Schneemann’s critical but lesser-known works of the eighties, nineties, and the present and draws upon the artist’s research on both the physical and metaphorical manifestations of the body.“Further Evidence — Exhibit B” will display two multi-media installations, at Galerie Lelong. These are pivotal in Schneemann’s works for protesting against the Vietnam War, including her films “Viet-Flakes” (1965), “Snows” (1967), and “Souvenir of Lebanon” (1983). These works are the foundation Schneemann’s characteristic process of collecting, filming, editing, and then exposing images that are suppressed. Exhibit B includes “Devour” (2003), a dual-channel video installation. The work is created by juxtaposing what Schneemann terms the “ecstatic normal” of quotidian moments and atrocities. Recurring relationship of the body and architecture of the grid are present throughout the installation.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek of the exhibition
