Allan Kaprow's Push and Pull. A Furniture Comedy for Hans Hofmann, 1963, created as part of the supporting programme of 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 spirit of the Happening fosters a particular spirit: a form of deliberate 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 call for shared action. We warmly invite you to become an active part of this exhibition – on the opening evening and beyond.
