-'''Carolee Schneemann''' (b. [[1939]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[performance artist]], known for her discourses on the body, [[human sexuality|sexuality]] and [[gender]]. She received a B.A. from Bard College and an M.F.A. from the University of Illinois. A member of the [[Fluxus]] group, her work is primarily characterized by research into visual traditions, [[taboo]]s, and the body of the individual in relationship to social bodies. Her most famous works include ''Eye Body: 36 [[Transformative Actions]]'' ([[1963]]), ''[[Meat Joy]]'' ([[1964]]), ''[[Fuses]]'' ([[1967]]), and ''[[Interior Scrol]]l'' ([[1975]])

-==''Fuses''== 
-In 1964, Schneemann began production of her film ''Fuses''. ''Fuses'' was a mixture of collage and painting featuring Schneemann and her then-boyfriend [[James Tenney]] having sex. ''Fuses'' was motivated by Schneemann's desire to know if a woman's depiction of her own sexual acts was different from pornography and classical art. She showed the film to her contemporaries as she worked on it in 1965 and 1966, receiving mostly positive feedback, though some did think it was "narcissistic exhibitionism." She received an especially strong reaction regarding the [[cunnilingus]] scene of the film. While, ''Fuses'' is viewed as a "proto-feminist" film, Schneemann feels that it was largely neglected by feminist film historians.
