- For the 1967 comedy film, see The Happening
Following the late 1950s, a happening was a performance, event or situation meant to be considered as art. Happenings could take place anywhere, were often multi-disciplinary, often lacked a narrative and frequently sought to involve the audience in some way. Key elements of happenings were planned, but artists would sometimes retain room for improvisation.
Allan Kaprow first coined the term Happening in the Spring of 1957 at an art picnic at George Segal's farm to describe the art pieces that were going on. ‘Happening’ first appeared in print in the Winter 1958 issue of the Rutgers University undergraduate literary magazine, ‘’Anthologist’’. The form was imitated and the term was adopted by artists across the U.S., Germany, and Japan. Jack Kerouac referred to Kaprow as “the Happenings man,” and an ad showing a woman floating in outer space declared, “I dreamt I was in a happening in my Maidenform brassiere.”
