Schneemann's performance-lecture Pinea Silva was first presented in December 2011 as part of EAI's 40th Anniversary Benefit. Aided by a PowerPoint presentation of images culled from the Internet, the artist analyzes traditional Christmas imagery with an eye toward the psycho-sexual, positing a re-writing of traditional symbols in which the Christmas tree is understood as vulvic. Deploying humor in her delivery, slides and props, Schneemann uses the performance-lecture as a distinctive forum for questioning the relationships of gender, sexuality, power and culture.
