b'Visiting professor of the third edition of CSAV - Artists\' Research Laboratory, Allan Kaprow retraces the evolution of his career: from the first gallery works, the environments, the happenings, up to the latest works, reserved to a smaller audience. Starting from the desire to be "the most modern artist who has ever lived in the world", Kaprow describes the gradual and programmatic exit from museums and galleries, towards a dimension as far from tradition as possible, like the streets of Los Angeles or a New York apartment. Thus, the story of his artistic path, which indelibly marked the second half of the last century, becomes the paradoxical story of the attempt to make art not in the context of art, itself but that of life.\\n05.07.1997, Archive Fondazione Antonio Ratti'
