Kurzbeschreibung

"Kaprow has shown how certain ordinary experiences and events, if properly conceptualized and performed consciously, could be 'art' and how art if properly contexted could be experienced as co-existent with 'life'. His writings not only explain but inspire; they are theoretical in the deepest sense of making one "see and "experience thought."--Richard Schechner, University Professor, New York University"Kaprow's writings are one of the most important bodies of work documenting the feeling, at the end of the 1950s and throughout the 1960s, that art itself had reached an impasse and become so formalized that it had evolved into a rarefied, elitist mode of cultural hegemony, and in order to make meaningful art one needed, somehow, to sidestep the art world altogether."--Henry Sayre, Oregon State University
