Renegrade intervention??

In Tom Mcdonough's recent article on Kaprow in Art in America, March 2008, Mcdonough said
" The fiasco of Publicity (1970), the first Happening staged by Kaprow upon being appointed to the faculty of the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles, was emblematic of this impasse. Not so different in conception from aspects of Household or Fluids, Publicity was to involve groups of students in competing building activities out in the California desert, but this plan was sabotaged by the intervention of a renegade group of students in ski masks who drove up and threatened to set the whole scene ablaze. Only the concerted opposition of some of Kaprow's pupils thwarted their plan, with the progressive teacher now forced into the uncomfortable role of enforcer of law and order. The limits of the genre had become all too clear."
Has anyone come across other references to this intrusion or Kaprow's reaction to it?

CalArts Reinvention of Allan Kaprow's Publicity

2008-03-25T22:05:00.000-07:00

SUNDAY, MAY 4, 2pm
Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park
10700 W. Escondido Canyon Rd., Agua Dulce

Although Allan Kaprow’s tenure as a faculty member at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) was short, he created some very significant works with CalArts students in the early 1970s. CalArts students, alumni, and faculty are revisiting Kaprow’s history at CalArts and will reinvent Publicity (1970), which was originally produced with and for the CalArts student body. In this Happening, students built improvised wooden structures in the desert area of Vasquez Rocks near CalArts, while others videotaped them and immediately replayed it for the participants.
