Mujeres radicales latinoamericanas en Los Ángeles

«La amplia exposición está dividida en áreas temáticas que siguen categorías tales como “Autorretrato”, “Feminismos”, “Mapeando el cuerpo”, “Erótica”, “El poder de las palabras”, “Performar el cuerpo”, “Espacios sociales”, “Resistencia y miedo”, “Cuerpo paisaje”; categorías que resultan arbitrarias

For those who can read Spanish, great text, great expo.

Allan Kaprow How to make a happening

9. When you’ve got the go-ahead, don’t rehearse the happening. This will make it unnatural because it will build in the idea of good performance, that is, ‘art.’ There is nothing to improve in a happening, you don’t need to be a professional performer. It’s best when it is artless, for better or worse. If it doesn’t work, do another happening. In any case, it’s unnecessary to rehearse situations like eating your way through a room full of food, tearing down an old house, throwing love letters into a field and watching the rain wash off the ink, driving a bunch of cars off in different directions until they run out of gas. These aren’t perfectible actions.

10. Perform the happening once only. Repeating it makes it stale, reminds you of theatre and does the same thing as rehearsing: it forces you to think that there is something to improve on. Sometimes it’d be nearly impossible to repeat anyway —imagine trying to get copies of your old love letters, in order to see the rain wash off those tender thoughts. Why bother? 

11. Give up the whole idea of putting on a show for audiences. A happening is not a show. Leave the shows to the theatre people and discotheques. A happening is a game with a high, a ritual that no church would want because there’s no religion for sale. A happening is for those who happen in this world, for those who don’t want to stand off and just look. If you happen, you can’t be outside peeking in. You’ve got to be involved physically. Without an audience, you can be off on the move, using all kinds of environments, mixing in the supermarket world, never worrying about what those out there in the seats are thinking, and you can spread your action all around the globe whenever you want. Traditional art is like college education and drugs: it’s fed to people who have to sit on their butts for longer and longer amounts of time to get the point, and the point is that there’s lots of actions somewhere else, which all the smart people prefer to just think about. But happeners have a plan and go ahead and carry it out. To use an old expression, they don’t merely dig the scene, they make it.

Fotos of the GOAH / EXTRA evening, with LaRibot and Christophe Kihm’s class GOAH.

GOAH (Groupe d'observation des animaux humains) est un groupe de recherche basé sur l'observation des comportements humains dont le travail repose sur l'analyse en situation. Il se destine à comprendre comment nous nous comportons en ayant recours notamment à des méthodes et à des concepts issus de la théorie systémique de la communication, mais aussi de la zoologie et de l’éthologie. Cette recherche a pour but de procurer des moyens d'intervention pour perturber des ordres ou des situations sociales, mais dans la discrétion. GOAH assurera la médiation de l’ exposition EXTRA.
