About the exhibition "Ken Friedman: 92 Events"

"92 Events" presents works by American-born, Sweden-based Fluxus artist Ken Friedman. The conceptual, action-oriented, language-based works challenge the idea of an artwork as a unique object and as distinctly separate from daily life. The instructional texts are playful-absurd even-and viewers are invited to realize the event scores in their minds or in real life.

"92 Events" was conceived by Ken Friedman and Copenhagen-based art historian Peter van der Meijden and has been presented by institutions around the globe since 2019. The exhibition is on view at Sheldon Museum of Art through January 4, 2026.
