Artists- Installation Art
notes to Installation Art:
(Quoted from Art Fundamentals: Theory & Practice)
Installation- "Setting in a place".
This would imply that one could create an installation by setting out dinnerware, installing a battery in a car, or placing a work of art on a wall.
Artists turned towards installations slightly before the fourth quarter of the twentieth century.
Some materials that have been used include sheet metal, fiberglass, wood, bronze, steel, plastic, plaster, and stone: Actually any available materials are eligible, including mixed media. If placed outdoors, the installations maybe simple (but frequently quite large); others, most frequently in a gallery, are many times comprised of multiple pieces, sometimes flooding the floors and/or walls.
There is little doubt that they enhance viewer involvement and produce a different outlook on the spaces on which they are placed. No doubt, to its creators, a labor of love.
