AMERICAN CAN by Max Neuhaus. 1966-1967
-American Can and By-Product are two works which mark Neuhaus' transition from the performance arts to the plastic arts. Although both are events, they each also resulted in the production of objects.
-The instructions for the latter called for a large number of canned products (manufactured or distributed by the American Can company) to cover a ground conducive to sound as the participating crowd bounced, slid, and moved the cans to generate sounds
-Event known as American Can, staged during the winter of 1966-67 in Staten Island’s Cloves Lakes Park (New York) and other locations around the city.
-Bi-Product is a piece done during the course of any other concert. A manufacturing operation is set up in the hall. During the concert a product, made out of that situation, is produced, packaged, and distributed to the audience.
