What is Kaprow, Allan

Chapter 14
Handbook of Research on Maximizing Cognitive Learning through Knowledge Visualization
Kaprow (1927–2006) was an American artist. Though he was considered a painter, he is perhaps better known for organizing art exhibitions in the 1950s and 60s that he termed “environments” due to the artists’ altering of the art venues combined with thematic performances. These exhibitions helped to influence the development of the contemporary installation art movement in the 1980s and 90s.

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.
