This presentation explores the period the American artist Carolee Schneemann spent with the Fluxus affiliated Beau Geste Press; a print community that operated from a farmhouse in Cullompton, Devon, when she stayed in the UK between 1970-73. Contributing to a range of publications as well as producing her first artist book, Schneemann and her partner, Anthony McCall, formed a connection with press and in particular, the founder Felipe Ehrenberg, a political emigre from Mexico, who left for the UK with his family to escape the regime. Intertwined in life and work, the working conditions reproduced by the press are revealed through the materials that are preserved in the Beau Geste Press archive at Tate Britain; collected together by member, David Mayor. A small collage made by Schneemann in July 1972 for a collective publication forms the basis for discussion about the major and minor — materials and histories — that complicate our understanding of what is considered and described by institutions as art.
