Allan Kaprow
How To Make A Happening
Album US 1966 on Mass Art Inc. label
Spoken Word (Speech)
Silkscreened cover with photo from Allan Kaprow's happening "Household", Cornell University, 1964. Special edition of this record, sealed in a heavy vinyl jacket with the title silkscreened in red. In 1957 Alan Kaprow decided to try out the possibility that the "action" of Action Painting was a ritual act of creation, not just an incidental frenzy of movement that produced white canvases. That decision effectively ended his growing career as a painter. Since then he has given to the world a word: the Happening. From Murray the K's Radio program to the Revlon commercials, to peace marches and sit-ins, to the campaigns of politicians - that word seems to have satisfied a need to evoke the zest, freakishness and game of the life around us. Kaprow himself finds the Cape Kennedy rocket launchings among the most powerful quasi-Happenings. And one embittered cynic recently compared the war in Viet Nam to a "Happening gone out of control".
