Water Light-Water Needle @ Carolee Schneemann. 1966
- SCHNEEMANN Carolee, Water Light-Water Needle, 1966 (happening).
With eight performers climbing on suspende dropes, it was « conceived as an aerial work for ropes rigged across the canal at San Marco… finally realized at Saint Mark’s Church in the Bowery (Venetian name sake), then later rigged in a grove of trees to be filmed. The transparencies of Venice still motivated the actual aerial arrangement of ropes which enclosed or surrounded the audience seated below. Performance, St. Mark’s Church, NY and The Havemeyer, Estate, Mawah, NJ.
