Often linked to the movements of Conceptual Art and Pop Art, Oldenburg was initially inspired by the theatrical aspects of the happenings conducted by fellow artists Jim Dine and Allan Kaprow – their work provided a refreshing alternative to the dominant abstract expressionism of the time and influenced his own foray into performance art, later guiding his interest and subsequent movement into sculpture, first soft, before becoming more substantial and large-scale.

Claes Oldenburg

What is Happening?

A Happening is a term used to describe artistic and theatrical events held by artists in the 1950s and 60s. These events were typically staged in gallery installations or planned environments and often involved audience participation, along with elements like lighting, sounds, and slide projections. Happenings were a precursor to performance art, which later included the active participation of the artists themselves.
