About

Why this artist matters now

Charlotte Moorman was an American cellist and performance artist who pioneered the integration of experimental music and radical body performance in the 1960s and 1970s. She collaborated extensively with composer Nam June Paik, performing with video installations and modified instruments that challenged conventional distinctions between music and visual art. Moorman's live performances, often featuring her cello as both sonic and sculptural object, established her as a key figure in Fluxus and the avant-garde performance movements of the postwar era.
