In the late 1950s Allan Kaprow, the legendary American pioneer of performance art, coined the term ‘Happening’, describing a unique art form involving people, objects and events. Two London-specific reinventions of two of his most significant Happenings take place at Tate Modern – building ice structures in Fluids, constructing stairways made of concrete blocks in Scales – and which evolve into experiences of the physical body and communal effort.
Those of you interested in communal making and participatory events may be interested in Happening Again: Allan Kaprow’s Fluids and Scales, Saturday 29 March 2008, 11.00–17.00, Tate Modern (riverside and staircase).
