What is Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme

Chapter 14
Handbook of Research on Maximizing Cognitive Learning through Knowledge Visualization
The Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme was an exhibition held in Paris in 1938 with 229 artworks collaboratively arranged and displayed by 60 surrealist artists from 14 countries. Visitors were guided through a series of spaces that were considered by the artists to be a part of the surreal experience of viewing the art. This was the first of several surrealist exhibits held in Paris in 1938, 1957, 1959, and in New York in 1942. These exhibits are considered by many art historians to have influenced the development of the contemporary Art Installation movement.

Abstract
This chapter compares several Disney exhibits—particularly those narrativizing technological innovation—to immersive installation artwork in order to explore the importance of narrative and textual reference in creating powerful immersive installations as presentation of technological and scientific knowledge through multiple media. The narrative craft of exhibits such as the Ford Magic Skyway and GE Carousel of Progress, which Disney created for the 1964-65 World's Fair in New York, are compared to works within the genre of installation art, which has developed greatly since the 1960s. Similar to Disney, many artists have deployed immersive installation art exhibits to envelop audiences in a detailed aesthetic and conceptual narrative. Some educational institutions have also used experiential education installations, especially for teaching scientific concepts.
