“A Happening is an assemblage of events performed or perceived in more than one time and place. Its material environments may be constructed, taken over directly from what is available, or altered slightly; just as its activities may be invented or commonplace. A Happening, unlike a stage play, may occur at a supermarket, driving along a highway, under a pile of rags, and in a friend’s kitchen, either at once or sequentially. If sequentially, time may extend to more than a year. The Happening is performed according to plan but without rehearsal, audience, or repetition. It is art but seems closer to life” -Allan Kaprow

Setting: A lonesome dump out in the country. Trash heaps all around, some smoking. Parts of dump enclosed by old, red tin fence. Trees around rest of it. Sequence of Events: 1 11 a.m. Men build wooden tower on a trash mound. Poles topped with tarpaper clusters are stuck around it. Women build nest of saplings and strings on another mound. Around the nest on a clothesline they hang old shirts. 2 2 p.m. Cars arrive, towing smoking wreck, park outside dump, people get out. Men and women work on tower and nest. 3 People circle dump, out of sight in trees and behind tin wall, wait. Women destroy men’s poles and tower, laughing, yelling “Watch this! Watch this!” Women go inside nest and screech. Men go for smoking wreck, roll it into dump, cover it with strawberry jam.

4 People’s voices call “Hey! Hey! Hey!” all around dump. Men go to women, put on shirts, squat down and watch them. People very slowly start coming in toward car, still calling “Hey! Hey!” Women screech. 5 Women go to car and lick jam. Men destroy nest with shouts and cursing. People, coming in, start to pound pots and blow police whistles in slow unison.
