allan kaprow's "calling" (1965) in the city, peole stand at street corners and wait. FOR EACH OF THEM: a car pulls up, someone calls out a name, the persons gets in, they drive off. during the trip, the person is wrapped in aluminium foil. the car is parked somewhere, is left there, locked; the silver person sitting motionless in the back seat. some one unlocks the car, drives off, the foil is removed from the person; he or she is wrapped in cloth into a laundry bag. the car stops, the person is dumped at a public garage and the car goes away. at the garage, a waiting auto starts up, the person is picked up from the concrete pavement, is hauled into the car, is taken to the information booth at gran central station. the person is propped up against it and left. the person calls out names. and hears the others brought there also call. they call out for sometime. then they work loose from their wrappings and leave the train station they telephone certain numbers. the phone rings and rings. finally it is answered, a name is asked for, and inmediately the other ends clicks off.
