The Jack Tilton Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of photography, video, and film by artists Carolee Schneemann, Carrie Mae Weems, and Jenny Perlin. Bringing together selected works dating from the 1960s to the present, the show traces a trajectory of artistic practice that moves from the artist’s body boldly featured inside the frame to the seemingly self-effacing interventions performed off-camera. The exhibition will be on view throughout the gallery’s two floors from September 21 through October 29. There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, September 21, from 6 top 8 pm. This is the second exhibition in the Jack Tilton Gallery’s new space on the Upper East Side.

Carolee Schneemann (born 1939), who blazed a trail for body art through her performances, videos, films, and installations, will be represented here with a selection of photographs from her influential 1960s works, some of which have never before been exhibited. While Schneemann’s early work prefigured feminist concerns regarding the body and societal taboos, her still images remain a vivid testament to the visceral energy of her groundbreaking nude performances and actions. Throughout a career that now spans four decades, the artist continues to advance ideas and images that are psychologically powerful and provocative.
