3. • Installation Art is a relatively new genre of Contemporary Art - practised by
an increasing number of postmodernist Artists - which involves the
configuration or "installation" of objects in a space, such as a room or
warehouse. The resulting arrangement of material and space comprises the
"artwork".
Because an installation usually allows the viewer to enter and move around
the configured space and/or interact with some of its elements, it offers the
viewer a very different experience from (say) a traditional painting or
sculpture which is normally seen from a single reference point.
Furthermore, an installation may engage several of the viewer's senses
including touch, sound and smell, as well as vision.
• Because of its flexibility and three-dimensionality, installation art is
influenced by developments in computer art - such as software
developments in video and film projection - as well as techniques used in
avant-garde theatre and dance. Architectural and interior design are other
influences.
• Above all, installation is a form of conceptual art - a genre in which "ideas"
and "impact" are regarded as being more important than the quality of a
finished "product" or "work of art". (Remember, an installation is a purely
temporary work of art. Unless it is photographed or documented in some
way, there will be no evidence of its existence.) If a traditional work of art
allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship of the artist, an installation allows
us to experience the "artwork" and perhaps even rethink our attitudes and
values.
• As in all general forms of conceptual art, installation artists are more
concerned with the presentation of their message than with the material
used to present it. However, unlike 'pure' conceptual art, which is
supposedly experienced in the minds of those introduced to it, installation
art is more grounded and remains tied to a physical space. Conceptual and
installation art are two of the most popular examples of postmodernist art,
a general tendency noted for its attempts to expand the definition of art.
Both forms are widely exhibited in many of the world's best galleries of
contemporary art.
