Love the blonde with the green shoes in picture number 6! She seems to have positioned herself just on the margin of the happening in order to reflect and connect it to the outside world.
The video sucks. To short and feels like your making fun of workers. Do you all think allan Kaprow would be proud?
Do you think Allan Kaprow had a concern for parodying “work” and thus “labor” or “laborers” in this Happening? If you recall, the working community in Milan in 1971 was not pleased either. The Happening itself calls into question the diffusion of work and play. Don’t take it too literally!
