Allan Kaprow's Push and Pull. A Furniture Comedy for Hans Hofmann, 1963, originally created as a supporting programme for an exhibition by his teacher, consists solely of a set of instructions. It asks the audience to rearrange the furniture in a room. This activation in the sense of the Happening fosters a particular spirit: a form of targeted disorder within an institutional environment.
For the mumok, this gesture represents a fundamental attitude. Push and Pull therefore stands at the centre of a presentation of works from the collection that invite collective action. We warmly invite you to become an active part of this exhibition – on the opening evening and beyond.
