WE HAVE BEEN READING

and have found inspiration.

We are looking for particular theories/techniques about experimental, avant-garde and postmodern film making. We are also looking for the history of flesh and eroticism in performance art. We want to build a resource of information that we can draw from when creating exercises, trying out ideas and building on skills.

So far these books have been read:

• Women and Experimental Filmmaking - Jean Petrolle, Virgina Wexman
• More Than Meat Joy Performance Works and Selected Writings - Carolee Schneeman and Bruce McPherson 
• Marina Abramovic - Mary Richards
• Jenny Holzer - Diane Waldman
• Imaging Her Erotics - Carolee Schneeman

These books are in the process of being read:

• Eroticism and art - Alice Mahon
• Derek Jarman's Angelic Conversations - Jim Ellis
• The Explicit Body in Performance - Rebecca Schneider
• Body Art/Performing the Subject - Amelia Jones
