Fluids: A Happening
During three days, rectangular enclosures of ice blocks are built throughout the city. Their walls are unbroken. They are left to melt.
In conjunction with the exhibition Allan Kaprow–Art as Life (March 23–June 30, 2008) organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), LACMA will recreate Allan Kaprow’s Fluids the weekend of April 25-27.
One of Kaprow’s most ambitious Happenings, Fluids was first realized for his 1967 retrospective at the Pasadena Art Museum when teams of volunteers built thirteen rectangular structures made of ice blocks over three days throughout the city. LACMA will organize the reinvention of Fluids at a wide range of sites across Los Angeles, including some of Kaprow’s original locations. Teams of volunteers, students, and others will build the ice structures, which take up to a day to complete and last for approximately three days.
Assistant Curator Michele Urton and Director of Education Toby Tannenbaum are coordinating Fluids. If you have questions or wish to get involved, please contact Michele at murton@lacma.org or 323 857-6225 or Toby at ttannenb@lacma.org or 323 857-6138.
