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.

A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration is the title of a touring contemporary art exhibition organized jointly by the Mississippi Museum of Art (MMA) and the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) in 2022. The exhibition comprises works by 12 African-American artists commissioned by the museums to examine "the profound impact of the Great Migration on the social and cultural life of the United States." Ranging mediums including painting, photography, sculpture, fiber, installation, and video art, the works in the exhibition explore themes of migration, displacement, and community, often through the lens of the artists' own family histories during or after the Great Migration. The exhibition was first shown at the MMA, followed by the BMA, before touring to several other American museums. The exhibition is currently on view at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive through September 22, 2024.
