Photographs of a Carolee Schneeman performance. Photographs by David Crosswaite of Carolee Schneeman's 'Thames Crawling' performance at the 1970 International Underground Film Festival at the National Film Theatre, London.
In a note to David Curtis, co-organiser with Simon Field of the Film Festival, Carolee Schneeman writes:
'Dear Dave: PUBLIC NOTICE –Yugoslavian films lost to us – total black out on communications; at. this late date it must mean "not possible". For the late evening program, 17th, where we hoped to have the Yugoslavian films, I'll present an expanded cinema piece (Kinetic Theater my name for it) juxtaposing "Fuses" and "Viet-Flakes" on buttresses outside, under the NFT Theater; a performance in a foam rubber environment which might engulf performers and spectators – an activation exchange. Call it for now, "Thames Crawling". Realisation with Joan Lifton.'
David Crosswaite is a filmmaker and artist associated with the London Film-Makers' Co-operative (LFMC). He photographed many happenings and performances, and his photographs of 'Thames Crawling' are included in Carolee Schneeman's Parts of a Body House Book (1972) artists' book.
The LFMC was founded in 1966 as a screening club at Better Books on Charing Cross Road, London, and grew into a pioneering organisation that played a crucial role in establishing film as an art form in the UK. In the 1990s, the LFMC merged with London Electronic Arts and became the Lux Centre, which later became Lux.
15 vintage gelatin silver photographs (105 x 164 mm, 4¼ x 6 ½ in); occasional minor marks, lightly curled. -
