“a pain in art’s ass”style, substance, significance all varythe world of objects and events
ManifestoPromote NON ART REALITY to be fully grasped by all peoples, not only critics, dilettantes and professionals. (George Maciunas, 1963)
Modes of apprehension: art, language, myth, science (each to be used sparingly, as needed, like food, water, sleep) . . . however, art remains within the universe of form, and what is beyond this universe, beyond dimensions, yet embodying them without conflict, is life. (George Brecht, 1961)
Art is what makes life more interesting than art. (Robert Filliou, n.d.)
The natural state of life and mind is complexity. At this point, what art can offer . . . is an absence of complexity, a vacuum through which you are led to a state of complete relaxation of mind. After that you may return to the complexity of life again, it may not be the same, or it may be, or you may never return, but that is your problem. (Yoko Ono, 1966)
Alison Knowles (b.1933, New York City)
Event Scores
simple actions
ideas
objects from everyday life
recontexualized as performance
texts that can be seen as proposal pieces or instructions for actions
The idea of the score suggests musicality.
Like a musical score - can be realized by artists other than the original creator
open to variation and interpretation

Happenings
Kaprow- 1964
Forget all the standard art forms. Don’t paint pictures. Don’t make poetry. Don’t build architecture. Don’t arrange dances. Don’t write plays. Don’t compose music. Don’t make movies, and above all don’t think you’ll get a Happening by putting all these together.

HappeningsGrace Glueck described one of them in The New York Times
in May 1965:
a hybrid new ‘art form’ out a drama by dance, mime, Dada, surrealism, collage, action painting, modern poetry, circus, and Old Marx Brothers movies. A kind of makeshift, hit-and-run theater that has already roiled viewers from coast to coast (and Westchester), Happenings have neither plot, nor dialogue nor discernible message. They achieve their non-verbal effects by bizarre, seemingly improved action, in which performers walk with boxes on their feet, douse themselves with buckets of milk, or roll back and forth across the stage.
