“Allan Kaprow: Art As Life” traces the artists’ work with assemblages made from everyday objects to the creation of all-encompassing environments. In addition to Kaprow’s traditional paintings, sculptures and photography, the new MOCA exhibit includes reinventions of “Happenings,” a term he coined in the 1950’s to describe events which replace traditional art with actions.
Allan Kaprow (1927-2006) viewed art as a tool for expanding our awareness of life by prompting unexpected and provocative interactions. For Kaprow, art is a work-in-progress, with an unfolding narrative that is realized through the active participation of its viewers.
