A Tribute to Allan Kaprow
Thursday, February 7, 2008, 6:30 p.m.
MOMA Education and Research Building,
Theater 3 (The Celeste Bartos Theater), mezzanine

This program is dedicated to the artist Allan Kaprow (1927–2006), whose events and narratives engaged the environment, the public, and the fabric of everyday life. Through a discussion moderated by Judith Rodenbeck (Noble Chair in Modern Art & Culture, Sarah Lawrence College, and Editor-in-Chief, Art Journal), artists and scholars reflect on Kaprow's legacy. Letty Eisenhauer, Professor, Borough of Manhattan Community College, discusses her contributions to Kaprow's Happenings, and Alison Knowles, artist, offers her perspectives on performance and Fluxus. André Lepecki, Associate Professor and Associate Chair, Department of Performance Studies, New York University, addresses his experience of remaking Kaprow's 18 Happenings in 6 Acts, and Robert Whitman, artist and former student of Kaprow's, reflects on his participation in this moment of artistic revolution. After the program, audience members have the opportunity to view material from The Museum of Modern Art Library's Special Collections.

Tickets ($10; members $8; students, seniors, and staff of other museums $5)
