"Labor Day" An Allan Kaprow Happening by Occidental College

Saturday, March 29, 2008. Occidental College is one of 29 local institutions throughout Southern California reinventing one of Allan Kaprow's happenings through collaboration with MOCA.
"Labor Day" originally occurred in Milan, Italy in 1971. It involved videotaping the actions of changing tires and shoveling dirt, performed on a race track and a circular route around a city respectively, reflecting the daily cycles of labor.

Disclaimer: "Happenings are coordinated by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and made possible by the generous support from the Getty Foundation. Allan Kaprow - Art As Life is organized by the Haus der Kunst, Munich and the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven. The exhibition is on view at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA from March 23 to June 30, 2008."
