| | Allan Kaprow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Kaprow is also known for the idea of "un-art", found in his essay "Art Which Can't Be Art". |  | | Kaprow's work attempts to integrate art and life. |  | | Through Happenings, the separation between life and art, and artist and audience becomes blurred. |

| | Installation art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Allan Kaprow used the term “Environment” in 1958 (Kaprow 6) to describe his transformed indoor spaces; this later joined such terms as “project art” and “temporary art.” |  | | This implies dissolution of the line between art and life; Kaprow noted that “if we bypass ‘art’ and take nature itself as a model or point of departure, we may be able to devise a different kind of art… out of the sensory stuff of ordinary life” (Kaprow 12). |  | | However, early examples of non-Western installation art (which influenced American installation pioneers like Allan Kaprow) are the events staged by the Gutai group in Japan from 1954 onwards. |

 | | Allan Kaprow, one of a select number of artists who's had a profound impact on the recent history of art, has also been influential as an essayist who challenged conventional thinking about the boundaries between art and life. |  | | The events that Kaprow would stage from the 1950s on were pioneering work in that vein, but he was something more – a lucid essayist and explainer of a new relationship between art and life. |  | | Kelley first met Kaprow briefly at 18, when he was a young painting student at the budding California Institute of the Arts in Valencia. |

 | | Allan Kaprow, painter and well-known Neo-Dadist, was in the gallery for two weeks in September supervising his latest environment, Words. |  | | The work of Pollock, the apotheosis of an art of action, provided Kaprow with a rationale to progress beyond traditional painting. |  | | Within a brief and intense early career, Kaprow progressed from an interest in Abstract Expressionism and many-levelled paintings incorporating collage to assemblage. |

 | | For Kaprow, who is currently a performance artist and a visual arts professor at UC-San Diego, it is the neo-Dadaist Fluxus artists, earthworkers, body artists, shamans and performance poets who point the way toward a participatory art rooted in daily activities. |  | | In the late 1950s, Kaprow coined the word "happenings" to describe the performance pieces that approximated in art the unpredictability of everyday life. |  | | Illustrated with photos and reproductions of artworks, these essays give Kaprow's take on artists such as Mondrian and Jackson Pollock and on wider topics like the transition of the artist from Beatnik to businessman. |
