Allan Kaprow, sustainable artist
The Allan Kaprow memorial was documented by BIBIANA PADILLA MALTOS on her website, for those who may wish to visit. Click on the Allan Kaprow memorial. It was a very, very moving event for those of us who could attend.
One speaker referred to him as the last of the "heroic generation of artists", who truly believed art could change the world. His work and the formal delivery systems he designed may provide one of the most enduring and prescient formal templates for sustainable art we have because it lay so lightly on the world and yet touched so profoundly.
One of the most beautiful elements of the day was the tribute of his widow, Coryl Crane, an Aikido master, who performed an Aikido meditation for him with her sword. The pictures don't do the dignity and elegance of her performance justice, but they do convey a hint. I will eventually write more about the day.
