Klappentext zu „Radical Prototypes: Allan Kaprow and the Invention of Happenings “
Happenings have pop connotations that conjure up 1960s youth culture and hippies in public, joyful rebellion. Scholars, meanwhile, locate happenings in a genealogy of avant-garde performance that descends from futurism, surrealism, and Dada through the action painting of the 1950s. In Radical Prototypes, Judith Rodenbeck argues for a more complex etiology. Allan Kaprow coined the term in 1958 to name a new collage form of performance, calling happenings ¿radical prototypes¿ of performance art. Rodenbeck offers a rigorous art historical reading of Kaprow¿s project and related artworks. She finds that these experiential and experimental works offered not a happy communalism but a strong and canny critique of contemporary sociality. Happenings, she argues, were far more ambivalent, negative, and even creepy than they have been portrayed, either in contemporaneous accounts or in more recent efforts to connect them to contemporary art¿s participatory strategies.

Rezension zu „Radical Prototypes: Allan Kaprow and the Invention of Happenings “
¿Radical Prototypes gives us profound insights into Kaprow¿s ¿from the ground up¿ source in life itself and speech-wise use of the vernacular. Rodenbeck asks about the content of these happenings and makes key links to Cage and Pollock that are canny, radical, and correct. Bravo for pulling the 60s together in one great book!¿ ¿Alison Knowles, artist
