Allan Kaprow, How to Make a Happening, 1966
The Cardwell Jimmerson Contemporary Art Gallery is hosting an art show which shines a light on a blind spot in art history. The west coast often times get placed behind the east coast in the art world hierarchies, and in this Los Angeles is seen as the driving cultural force.
The artist's located in San Diego found themselves within academia, and this allowed their practice to exist within gallery spaces and classrooms. This engine of artistic progress and processes has yet to be explored thoroughly, and hopefully this show can be a starting point.
