It’s happening!

MAKE IT HAPPEN.

PART 1

Work with a partner to create an art experience that does not rely on sight 

(participants will have their eyes closed/covered)

Min 3 minutes, Max 5 minutes

Consider where your piece takes place & what sensory experiences it may conjur

PART 2

Create or find and customize an object that (in theory) would be easily reproduced and represents your piece. This will be added to a class Fluxkit.

CONSIDER:

What makes up a happening?

1) Suchness: Happenings are “the direct ‘suchness’ of every action ... with no more meaning than the sheer immediacy of what is going on ... physical, sensible, tangible being.” 

2) Fantasy: Happenings are “performed fantasies not exactly like life, though derived from it.”

3) Structure: Happenings are “an organized structure of events.”

4) Meaning: Happenings are “usually the embodiment of a number of old, archetypal symbols ... I try to keep the symbols universal, simple, and basic.”

Does your happening meet the 11 Rules criteria? If you are breaking the rules, why is this important to you?

For morning class 7/1 come prepared to share your happening and discuss how it relates to the happening rules and 4 components.
