Article: "Happenings are pure subjective experience". An Interview with Jean-Jacques Lebel
Abstract
Jean-Jacques Lebel, born in Paris in 1936, is an artist, activist and writer. His works have ranged from paintings, sculptures, installations videos and poems to translations and happenings. Trilingual and active both aesthetically and politically, he has had numerous exhibitions all over the world, working alone or in collaboration with artists including Erró, Allan Kaprow, Robert Filliou, Tetsumi Kudo, Claes Oldenburg, Yoko Ono, Carolee Schneemann, and Wolf Vostell, and poets Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, William Burroughs and Michael McClure. For this interview, focused on documentation and the archive, we spoke primarily about his happenings, the first of which, L’Enterrement de la Chose (The Burial of the Thing, Venice, July 14, 1960) has been celebrated as the first such event on the European continent.
