Tate Liverpool is proud to present a personal appearance by the renowned American artist Carolee Schneemann who will perform Mysteries of the Iconographies live in the gallery as part of The Long Night of the AND Festival. In this intimate visual lecture Schneemann travels backwards and forwards in time, beginning with obsessive childhood drawings of a staircase. The performance explores diverse imaginings including the mysteries of a notched stick, paper folds, indentations and the slice of line in space through unexpected structural motives, up to and including Schneemann's recent photographic grids and objects.

The performance lecture is followed by Q&A with the artist.

Places strictly limited and booking essential.

The event will also be streamed live into the gallery foyer.

Abandon Normal Devices (AND) is a new festival that welcomes audiences to experience the best in new cinema and media art in a celebration that spills from screens and galleries into the streets and imaginations of the North West.
