His address there was/is Allan Kaprow Visual Arts Dept., B-027 Univ of California, San Diego La Jolla, CA 92093 USA I think he only retired recently so he'd probably still get mail. Worth a try anyway. cheers, Sol.
FLUXLIST: Fwd: I want to know more about Allan Kaprow
Can anyone out there help this person 1. get more info about Allan Kaprow, 2. make direct contact with Allan Kaprow? A side note about Allan Kaprow and "Happenings" on the internet. The problem with finding info about Allan Kaprow and/or "Happenings" on the internet is that "Happenings" is a frequently used, generic word. Many organizations refer to their calendar/coming events as "Happenings" so you get back a huge number of hits if you use that as a search word...almost all of which are false alarms. If you search for Allan Kaprow you get far fewer hits and you are left with the suspicion that there are potentially many more websites/pages addressing past and current "Happenings" that don't refer to Kaprow. Compare this to "Fluxus:" Fluxus is such a unique word that most internet search engine hits are accurate. Not every Fluxus site/page refers to "Maciunas" so searching only for "Maciunas" leads to far fewer Fluxus web pages. Is it possible that Fluxus (because of the rise of the internet and the use of keyword searching) has an unfair historical advantage over Happenings because of this arbitrary difference? Is it possible that Happenings is a victim of its own, greater cultural success? Perhaps the Fluxus meme should stage a hostile takeover of the Happenings meme...to save it and give it a more unique home on the Internet.

Re: FLUXLIST: Fwd: I want to know more about Allan Kaprow
This search brought up a lot of interesting links http://www.google.com/search?q=kaprow+happeningsbtnG=Google+Search including a review of Kaprow's great collection "Essays on the Blurring of Art and Life" by George Leonard (another favorite of mine). http://128.138.144.71/abr/leonard.html To contact Kaprow, one might try via U of Calafornia, San Diego visual arts department. Perhaps they could forward inquiries to him. I believe he's retired from his teaching position there... cheers, George allen bukoff wrote: Can anyone out there help this person 1. get more info about Allan Kaprow, 2. make direct contact with Allan Kaprow?
