SWEPT AWAY

Curated by JULIE Mckim
Guild Hall, East Hamptons, NY
August 2022–May 2023


Four curators, inspired by the Happenings Allan Kaprow conducted in East Hampton, collaborated with Guild Hall to select sixty artists from LA and sixty from NY, who were then randomly paired. The LA-based artists sent prompts to their East Coast counterparts, who, inspired by these prompts, created works/ performances that were presented at the shoreline over four weekend nights.  In the spring of 2023, prompts were sent from New York artists to Los Angeles, where the West Coast artists created works and performances at Will Rogers State Beach in Santa Monica.
