FLUIDS

A HAPPENING BY ALLAN KAPROW

During three days, about twenty rectangular enclosures of ice blocks (measuring about 30 feet long, 10 wide and 8 high) are built throughout the city. Their walls are unbroken. They are left to melt.


This spring, in conjunction with the exhibition Allan Kaprow—Art As Life organized by MOCA, LACMA will recreate Allan Kaprow’s Fluids the weekend of April 25-27. First realized for his1967 exhibition at the Pasadena Art Museum, Fluids will be reinvented by teams of volunteers in a wide range of sites across Los Angeles including some of Kaprow’s original locations. Those interested in participating should attend a preliminary meeting at LACMA, 5905 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, at 3 PM on Thursday, March 6. The happening will be thoroughly discussed and details of the event will be reviewed.

Assistant Curator Michele Urton and Director of Education Toby Tannenbaum are coordinating Fluids and co-chairing this meeting. If you have questions or to RSVP, please contact Michele at murton@lacma.org or 323-857-6225 or Toby at ttannenb@lacma.org or 323-857-6138.
