MCASD - Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego

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 GIVEAWAY, the premise was simple: "Dishes left on street. Photographed. Return the next day. Photograph."
