USF Contemporary Art Museum presents Kaprow Reinvented: Pose, 1969-2019, a pop-up performance and participatory reinvention of Allan Kaprow’s Pose, reinvented by Tampa-based artist Vince Kral; co-organized by Alyssa Cordero. Every Wednesday, on the USF Tampa campus, Kral invites the public to visit us and reinvent Kaprow’s Pose.

The above is the script for the original Pose performance, one of Allan Kaprow’s Six Ordinary Happenings. Kaprow’s happenings were performative, semi-spontaneous works that were designed to be repeated, or revisited, by others, becoming reinventions that changed with every iteration. Kaprow did not distinguish between art and life--art is life and life is art. The Happenings are purposeful but subtle interruptions of both everyday moments and the established understanding of art viewing. Now, 50 years after Kaprow’s first incarnation of Pose, USFCAM has organized a timely reinvention by Tampa-based artist, Vince Kral.
Through the weekly Pop-up Mediation Post (PMP)—which will be held every Wednesday—Kral will facilitate an open dialogue between passersby, Kaprow’s Pose, and himself. These PMP’s will provide information about Kaprow’s work and all material for participants to reinvent Pose themselves. For the duration of the project, the Google map below shows all of the locations where Pose was reinvented. People from all over are encouraged to participate in the exhibition with instructions included below the map. The updated script is as follows:
