Art / Curiosities - Allan Kaprow: Fluids (2009)

The Schirn-Kunsthalle in Frankfurt/Main realized the Happening Fluids of a known american artist Allan Kaprow (1927-2006).

During two hours a minimalistic walk-in ice sculpture was built of 330 ice blocks (with a total weight of more than 4 tons) by art interested volunteers.
The team cooperation during the building, the result of the work and the following ice melting are of the same importance here.
For the first time Fluids was performed by Kaprow in 1967 and the event stands for the concept stamped by him.
The fact that the audience became a component of the action extended the art concept of that time.
