2. Installation art is the use of sculptural materials and
other interesting material to transform a space
or, arguably, an area. Installation art is not necessarily
confined to gallery spaces and can be any material
intervention in everyday public or private spaces.
Installation art incorporates almost any media to
create an experience in a particular environment.
Materials used in contemporary installation art range
from everyday and natural materials to new media
such as video, sound, performance, immersive virtual
reality and the internet. Some installations are site-
specific in that they are designed to only exist in the
space for which they were created.
3. Site-specific art is artwork
created to exist in a certain
place. Typically, the artist
takes the location into account
while planning and creating
the artwork
4. Land art, Earthworks, or Earth art is an art
movement which emerged in the United States in the
late 1960s and early 1970s, in which landscape and the
work of art are inextricably linked. Sculptures are not
placed in the landscape, rather the landscape is the
very means of their creation. The works frequently exist
in the open, located well away from civilization, left to
change and erode under natural conditions. Many of
the first works, created in the deserts of Nevada, New
Mexico, Utah or Arizona were ephemeral in nature
and now only exist as video recordings or photographic
documents.
