AVV 10-19 #716636

NEW YORK CITY — The Jewish Museum will present a conversation program, “Allan Kaprow: Art & Life,” on Thursday, November 8, at 6:30 pm.

Presented as part of the Performa07 Biennial, will explore American artist Allan Kaprow’s artistic practices and legacy. Panelists include Stephanie Rosenthal, curator, Haus der Kunst; art historian Irving Sandler and artist Paul McCarthy.

The evening will feature video footage of Kaprow (1927–2006), who coined the term “happenings” to describe performance art pieces involving public participation.

Performa07, taking place November 1–20, is the second biennial of new visual art performance presented by Performa, a nonprofit multidisciplinary arts organization dedicated to exploring the critical role of live performance in the history of Twentieth Century art and to encouraging new directions in performance for the TwentyFirst Century.

Tickets are $15 general public; $12 students/seniors; and $10 museum members. The Jewish Museum is at 1109 Fifth Avenue at 92nd Street. For general information, www.thejewishmuseum.org or 212-423-3200.
