Module 4, 3rd artist: Allan Kaprow

Allan Kaprow was an American painter, assemblagist and a pioneer in establishing the concepts of performance art. He helped to develop the "Environment" and "Happening" in the late 1950s and 1960s, as well as their theory. I personally like the performance called “Time Pieces” It was about Partners read pulses and exchange breaths. Breathe… if we can’t breathe then that means we are dead. It is sort of like exchanging you’re experiencing with other. I can breathe just as you can breathe. What is he trying to convey the audience? I don’t understand.  Is he trying to say that we are all same? Its really hard to understand but somehow it seem very interesting and mystery… to me!
