Twenty Gallons of Soup
Friday, December 5, 2025 - 11:00AM to 02:00PM Sheldon Museum of Art
Sheldon Museum of Art and University Dining Services are collaborating to realize artist Ken Friedman’s 1967 event score “Twenty Gallons: Cook soup for several hundred people.” The soup will be served at the museum and in campus dining centers from 11 AM to 2 PM and from 5 to 7 PM. Free and open to the public.
Participants will be entered to win a framed event score from the exhibition “Ken Friedman: 92 Events.”
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.
