	Charlotte Moorman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Madeline Charlotte Moorman (November 18, 1933–November 8, 1991) was an American cellist and performance artist.
		In the late 1970's Moorman was diagnosed with breast cancer.
		Charlotte Moorman was involved with the Fluxus movement of avant-garde and performance art and was a friend and associate of many well-known artists of the late twentieth century, including Nam June Paik, John Cage, Joseph Beuys, Yoko Ono, Carolee Schneemann, Jim McWilliams and others.

	artnet.com Magazine Reviews - Avant-Garde Exposure
		As a performer, Moorman's work embodied the effort of the mid-20th-century performance avant-garde to force open an indeterminate area of innovation between the high and the low, between art as a high-minded civic ritual and "art" as a pretext to sell sex.
		Moorman lived at the intersection of advanced art and music during a moment when the two modes of practice were blurring together.
		Moorman's subject was the female body as erotic spectacle, and as such her work can be compared to that of women artists like Carolee Schneeman, Hannah Wilke, Marina Abramowicz, Finley and Vanessa Beecroft.

	ART IN REVIEW; 'The World of Charlotte Moorman' - New York Times
		Charlotte Moorman (1933-1991) was famous as the ''topless cellist'' arrested for indecent exposure during a performance of Nam Jun Paik's ''Opera Sextronique'' in New York City in 1967.
		Moorman's own participation often entailed acts of physical derring-do: one piece found her playing the cello while suspended from balloons; another while submerged in a tank of water.
		And by the time Moorman died of cancer at age 57, her niche, modest but distinctive, in the history of postwar art was secure.

	Charlotte Moorman / Nam June Paik, TV Cello, Alga Marghen, 2LP (ltd.200)
		"A documentation of Charlotte Moorman activities as a performer is generally available only on the iconographic level in various catalogues which documents the crucial intersection with the work of Nam June Paik or the association with events connected to the Fluxus movement.
		One of Charlotte Moorman's more substantial merits is having consciously reversed the traditional role of the virtuoso performer on her own instrument, uncovering by this overturning one of the most authentic keys for comprehending the aesthetics of experimental music.
		It was properly the natural spontaneity in this attitude to fascinate Paik and to have decreed her indispesable capacity as a performer, thus giving rise to the reasons animating their fecund and symbiotic collaboration.

		Consisting of two miniature televisions attached to a set of vinyl straps so that the screens functioned as the cups of a woman's bra, this sculpture was designed to be worn by Paik's collaborator Charlotte Moorman as she performed on the cello.
		Originally, when this work was used in performances, the sound played by Moorman on her cello was filtered through a processor which would change, modulate, disrupt, and regenerate the live television images playing on the video screens of her TV Bra.
		By conflating sexuality (Moorman performed clothed only by the TV Bra), performance art, corporate entertainment media (the live signal on the two televisions), classical music, and sculpture, Paik used this technology to subvert the numbing effects of the electronic age that McLuhan alluded to.

		Also in New York, Paik formed his most important collaborative relationship, with avant-garde cellist and performance artist Charlotte Moorman, whom he worked with until her death in 1994.
		For Moorman, Paik constructed infamous pieces such as "TV Bra for Living Sculpture" (1969), two Plexiglas-encased televisions taped to Moorman's breasts while she played the cello, and "TV Cello" (1971), an instrument made of three televisions of varying sizes encased in Plexiglas.
		Moorman, interviewed in Paik's video "Global Groove" (1973), called "TV Cello" the "first advance in the cello since 1600." Trying to address the question "Why is sex a predominant theme in art and literature, prohibited ONLY in music?" Paik staged "Opera Sextronique" (1967), for which Moorman performed a striptease while playing the cello.
