“What is a Happening? A game, an adventure, a number of activities engaged in by participants for the sake of playing.” –Allan Kaprow Happenings, a term coined by Allan Kaprow in the late 1950s, define an art form in which an action is extracted from the environment, replacing the traditional art object with a performative gesture rooted in the movements of everyday life.

In conjunction with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles' 2008 exhibition Allan Kaprow-Art as Life, MCASD worked with a group of local students and young artists to present the reinvention of two 1969 Kaprow Happenings -- Pose and Giveaway -- throughout downtown San Diego in May 2008. For POSE, the premise was simple: "Place a chair. Sit in it. Take a picture. Leave the picture."
