Burbank Documentation

In September 1972 Allan Kaprow and his students did a piece that was dedicated to Luther Burbank's experiments with the grafting and cross-fertilization of plants, enacting the score to Burbank (scroll down to box 20, folder 5) on the CalArts campus.

Thirty-five years later, CalArts students reinvented the score to Burbank at the nearby Deep End Ranch. Below is the documentation of the happening, along with the score.
