Happening
A
happening is a performance, event or
situation meant to be considered
art, usually as
performance art. Happenings occur anywhere and are often multi-disciplinary, with a
nonlinear narrative and the active participation of the audience. Key elements of happenings are planned but artists sometimes retain room for
improvisation. This
new media art aspect to happenings eliminates the boundary between the artwork and its viewer.
