CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN: UP TO AND INCLUDING HER LIMITS 10 Nov. 2010 -14 Jan. 2011 Opening reception Wednesday 10 November, 5-7 pm Carolee Schneemann's talk/performance, a co-presentation of Gallery One One One and the Faculty of Architecture's Arch 2 Gallery, will happen at 7 pm at the Russell Building's Centre Space on the Fort Garry Campus. Carolee Schneemann is one of America's most important post-war artists, and she has a special affection for Winnipeg. She last visited the School of Art in the year 2000. Her video Up to and Including Her Limits from the mid-1970s is especially important as an historical marker made halfway between the action painting of Jackson Pollock (to which it/she explicitly refers as an inspiration) and the recent "Drawing Restraint" performances of Matthew Barney.
