Description
Alex Da Corte's Chicken is a living document of a moment in time. In 2020, the artist performed a reinvention of Allan Kaprow's happening, also titled Chicken, at the Gershman Y at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. The event reimagined Kaprow's chaotic 1962 performance, which had been orchestrated under the auspices of the first Pop art exhibition on the East Coast. The publication brings together documentation and testimony from Da Corte's performance, including sketches, reproductions of objects and costumes, performance images, scripts, essays, and personal accounts reflecting on the event's impact. This collection becomes a unique record of a moment in time, capturing the energy and creativity of Da Corte's reinterpretation. Through its diverse range of materials, Chicken offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of contemporary art and performance.
