The Artist Within Us All will be on view as part of the Further Triennial at Minnesota Street Project in 2027. Curated by Ruthanna Hopper and Laura Whitcomb, Label Curatorial

The Halprin Legacy Lab is pleased to announce The Artist Within Us All: The Halprins and Their Circle of Influence, a major exhibition presented by Tamalpa Institute as part of the Further Triennial at Minnesota Street Project.

Inspired by Anna Halprin's belief that the artist's role is to be a "guide who works to evoke the artist in us all," the exhibition explores the Halprin Laboratory as a vital site of postwar artistic experimentation, where dance, visual art, music, film, architecture, poetry, and performance came together through shared processes of inquiry and collaboration.

In the latest episode of Artforum’s Under the Influence, artist Janine Antoni talks about the artists who have shaped her practice—including her mentor, Anna Halprin.

From Halprin’s unique relationship to movement to the influence of Tehching Hsieh, Steve Paxton, Bruce Nauman, and others, Antoni offers a glimpse into the artistic lineage behind her work.

A fascinating look at how one artist’s influence can ripple across generations.
