Allan Kaprow's "activity"
It was an interesting experience, making face into the mirror until I couldn’t see Shannon’s face anymore. It really made me aware of so many more things. Like the fact that I had to pay attention to the faces that both Shannon and I were making, but also avoid tripping over something in my apartment as well. Even tough now that I’ve completed the assignment, I still feel like I missed out and I don’t completely understand. It must have been different to have the entire class watching and to be outside. Was there some secret trick that I’m missing, or is it simply the fact that I don’t really appreciate the type of performance art we studied in this class? It was a fun exercise and I understand the basics of putting together a performance piece. I guess I just don’t consider it as my type of art.
