October 17, 1982: Beast: Animal Imagery in Recent Painting, an exhibition of 40 artists, opens at PS1, the Institute for Art and Urban Resources, in Long Island City, Queens. Not invited, David attends the show with Peter Hujar and releases 30 live “cock-a-bunnies” (cockroaches with cotton rabbit ears and tails glued to them), which he later dubs an “action installation” on his resume.
