Abstract

Responding to the 1983 essay The Real Experiment, written by the recently deceased artist Allan Kaprow, I discuss the "lifelike art" tradition and the lifelike art I have created while in graduate school. This thesis also compares and contrasts two western avant-garde art traditions. Various technological and cultural changes are proposed as reasons for lifelike art's recent popularity. I conclude that lifelike art is becoming vernacular, while retaining quality.
