소개

앨런 캐프로(Allan Kaprow, 1927년 8월 23일 ~ 2006년 4월 5일)는 미국의 화가, 아상블라주 예술가이며, 해프닝을 시도한 행위 예술의 선구자이다.

Allan Kaprow was an American performance artist, installation artist, painter, and assemblagist. He helped to develop the "Environment" and "Happening" in the late 1950s and 1960s, as well as their theory. His Happenings — some 200 of them — evolved over the years. Eventually Kaprow shifted his practice into what he called "Activities", intimately scaled pieces for one or several players, devoted to the study of normal human activity in a way congruent to ordinary life. Fluxus, performance art, and installation art were, in turn, influenced by his work.
