It was sometimes difficult to tell what was planned and what was improvised or simply fabricated, and the lectures were seamless but also ad hoc–you didn't know, and neither did the artists, exactly where the ketchup would spatter when the bottle exploded after having air pumped in.

The subject of one performance was Hawaii, which sounded like a perfect escape from the grim rea lity of ground zero, just a few blocks south of the gallery. Gelatin's four members made their entrance by riding a surfboard down a wooden ramp to the ecstatic applause of the audience. …
