Carolee Schneemann (1939–2019) was a groundbreaking artist whose work helped redefine the relationship between body, gender, and art.

Spanning painting, performance, film, video, mixed media, and installation, her practice brought the visceral energy of action painting into direct dialogue with bodily presence—often using her own body as both subject and medium. Landmark works such as Eye Body (1963), Fuses (1964), Meat Joy (1964), Up To and Including Her Limits (1974), and Interior Scroll (1975) have since become icons of contemporary and feminist art.

From Then and Beyond brings together a series of interviews with Schneemann, conducted by art historian Oliver Kielmayer (Kunsthalle Winterthur) and curator Lara Pan at her home in New Paltz, New York. Edited into 27 monologues and dialogues, these conversations represent the artist’s final extended reflection on her life and work. The volume is complemented by illustrations of her artworks and photographs from her home and studio environment.
