Publicity (1970/2008), reinvented by CalArts on Sunday May 4th, 2008 at Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park.

Much more at the Publicity Blog.

Although Allan Kaprow’s tenure as a faculty member at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) was short, he created some very significant works with CalArts students in the early 1970s. CalArts students, alumni, and faculty are revisiting Kaprow’s history at CalArts and will reinvent Publicity (1970), which was originally produced with and for the CalArts student body. In this Happening, students built improvised wooden structures in the desert area of Vasquez Rocks near CalArts, while others videotaped them and immediately replayed it for the participants.
This event is open to the public.
INFO 661/253-7801 or belmer@calarts.edu
