A Bunch of People Present "A Happening"

Wikipedia says "A happening is a performance, event or situation meant to be considered as art. Happenings take place anywhere, are often multi-disciplinary, often lack a narrative and frequently seek to involve the audience in some way. Key elements of happenings are planned, but artists sometimes retain room for improvisation."

What we are doing is a 21st Century version of what these spontaneous Happenings of the 1960s and bringing back the spirit of collectively creating an event based on the content of those attending.

This means, to begin with everyone receives a postcard on entry which they can draw on, modify etc in any way they like and then add this to the wall together with everyone else’s to form a unique piece of work formed by all present.

Following on from that, there will instillations of computer paper art, and new music videos by a selection of talented young directors. Then there will be interactive music and visuals which everyone can have a go with.

Then throughout the day while you lounge on bean bags, surrounded by lava lamps there will be live visuals, Fluxus art instillations and Live Music from....
