More about the exhibition:
Pop: Practice as Performance features the work by Chamberlain, Dine, Indiana, Katz, Lichtenstein, Nevelson, Oldenburg, Rauschenberg, Rosenquist, Wesselmann, Warhol and others. These 1960s artists, exemplify a keen interest in performance in its many manifestations. Rauschenberg for example, frequently collaborated with Cunningham and other dance companies, while also choreographing and performing his own works. In addition to the artists who routinely participated in live performances through the Happenings movement - there were many others that made and donated visual works to raise funds for the musicians, dancers, actors, etc. in their communities.

Whether specifically referenced in the subject or by way of lived persona, the act of presentation itself; of embodying the role of the artist as entertainer, was pervasive. In much the way filmmakers captured live performance, Pop artists from the 1960s on practiced the dramatization of the everyday, on and off the canvas.
