Performance piece at Stage 73 Surplus Dance Theater, New York City
By Robert Morris (featuring Carolee Schneemann)
In this performance, Morris (who is wearing a mask of his own face sculpted by Jasper Johns) silently moves around large sheets of plywood, revealing a nude Schneemann who represents Edouard Manet’s Olympia. This conceptual art piece focuses on anonymity and the fascination with the passive nude female form within art.
