Carolee Schneemann: Up to and Including Her Limits, 1973-76.

Up to and Including Her Limits 1973-76 .		Performance. live video relay. Crayon on paper, rope and harness suspended from ceiling. The Kitchen. NYC.

Up To And Including Her Limits was the direct result of Pollock's physicalized painting process.... I am suspended in a tree surgeon's harness on a three-quarter-inch manila rope, a rope which I can raise or lower manually to sustain an entranced period of drawing– my extended arm holds crayons which stroke the surrounding walls, accumulating a web of colored marks. My entire body becomes the agency of visual traces, vestige of the body's energy in motion."
