visiting “The Beanery”, an installation made by the American funk artist Edward Kienholz in 1965, at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam (shown in appendix I), I found a sudden interest in Installation art. My eyes were open to the existence of this form of art and I began to notice its presence in all the museums I visited, and its relevance in the world of art. Which led me to investigate about its origins, and discover that installation was not always considered a valid art form. This led me to my

New Media Interactive Art Project Research: I’ve been very interested in wall and floor interactive installations, as to how one can interact through projections and how our body movements can do something very interesting. One such interesting installation was from 1999, title the “Text Rain” by Romy Achituv & Camille Utterback. This interactive installation was about falling letters on the projection on the wall to something quite magical. It allowed the audience to practically lift and play with
Dale Chihuly, one of the most well-known contemporary glass artists, collaborated with various architects, in order to create powerful and intriguing installations. Chihuly’s goal is to impact as many viewers as possible, through the morphing of shapes. He embraces the permanence of buildings, but tests with the ephemeralness of other subjects. As Chihuly stated, “When you’re working on a building it’s permanent. If forces you to make something in design terms that will withstand the test of time”
Figure 2: 1794’s Madame Tussauds’s wax figure The next form of display is through placing clothing of famous and reputable people of that time. In the eighteenth century, Madame Tussaud of wax-museum fame was acquiring and displaying the clothing of famous people. Madame Tussaud’s mentor, Dr Phillipe Curtis, was highly skilled at wax modeling. The wax figures were made from wood or leather, and clothed in the latest fashion of the era. The most important detail of Curti’s wax models was what they
research and composition. After several years in art galleries, it began to be obvious that I needed to return to the process in the studio to improve the work. It was at this time that I occasionally developed the piece, having access to studio time to settle and organize content. It might help to mention why the direction and need to put the body in space and time which emerged in the context of art galleries. We define a "Live installation" as an installation activated by the physical presence of a body
creating responsive art towards society. She created a style that exemplifies the chaos from political, social, and historical events that have lead to the concern of freedom, sexism, and consumerism in our daily lives and the hypocrisy we create and surround ourselves with right now. She is better known as being identified as a feminist artist, for creating the voice of women that she wants to be heard. Kruger speaks nothing but the truth with the help of different media like installations in specific locations

Kusama wrote a number of books and novels, such as Yayoi Kusama: Driving Image, Lost in Swampland, and many more that comprise of poems that she has written and paintings that she has made.

three sided that rested on metal legs. The fabric panels appeared on the top. The gates color matched the fabric. There were: 7503 16 feet gates, 23 long walkways. The display was only for few weeks in February of 2005. This type of art supports the idea of public art of the built environment. Wrapped/Surrounded/Suspended Starting in 60s, Christo and Jeanne-Claude were implementing the colors into the landscape. A good example of such implementation would be Surrounded Islands of 1980-1983 in Biscayne
“Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind (The Art Story).” This quote belongs to one of the most famous female sculptors in America, Louise Nevelson. Louise Nevelson was born on September 23, 1899 in Kiev, Russia (The Art Story). According to The Art Story Contributors, she, along with her family, moved to Maine in 1905 and by 1908, she had known she wanted to be an artist. Nevelson worked with Hans Hofmann, Diego Rivera, George Grosz, and also met with Frida Kahlo, all of
The presumed lawlessness of the artist becomes the focal point for Kelley’s installation. In Pay for Your Pleasure, the viewer is forced to confront the existence of evil, and neither Kelley nor the philosophers provide comfort. The “absurdity” of Gacy as an artist was hoped to be revealed through the confrontation between “our recognized creative geniuses and a recognized mass-murderer.” The exhibition asks the viewer to question what institutions are responsible for Gacy’s confinement as criminal
Chicago. Buckman explores the differences and similarities of hip-hop and feminism that she grew up with, from a personal and social perspective. Whereas, Chicago, a famous and key pioneer of feminist art in the 1970s, has a strong focus on women’s history, the feminist movement and the promotion of women in art.
entertainment in our everyday experiences (Foster, 2015a). As a starting point, it is important to recognize that Foster identified certain main problems modern and contemporary art museums face today (Foster, 2015a). One of those, relevant to the purpose of this essay, is the prevalent vagueness surrounding what contemporary art entails and what space is required for its exhibition (Foster, 2015b). Following Foster’s (2015b) analysis of the museum space and its developments in recent years, he goes
Art fairs are currently related to the exposure of art to the world in general. More often than not, the fairs are monetary benefits to artists, but is more for the rich to spend their millions on diverse art. Both Don Thompson and Sarah Thornton reflect on these issues of art fairs that target art dealers, and collectors. The emphasis for each is on the selling and buying of art. In many ways, the art has taken a secondary place to the planning, and setting up of the art fairs, and the moneys
Ai Wei Wei’s politically fueled installation Remembering covered the façade of the Haus der Kunst in Munich, Germany in 2009, where he had a show titled, So Sorry. The work, Remembering, which measured one hundred meters by ten meters, was compiled of nine thousand children’s backpacks. Using simple colors and design techniques, Ai Wei Wei’s installation not only catches the viewers’ attention with sheer size, but also ignites a deeper emotional spark and fueled a lasting conversation whose reach
functional objects. Yet, despite the weight of these issues, Jaworska’s approach is marked by humor, irony, and a use of bold, minimalist forms. For this exhibition—Jaworska’s first solo show—the artist presents two new projects that are at once works of art and architectural proposals for larger edifices. Rather than finished projects, this exhibition reveals a stage in the architect’s process—the
traditional artwork and the emotions that played in. Judd was also a big part of postwar art and he would often work with a lot of geometric shapes and industrialized materials to create his artworks in large spaces. His art was simple and misunderstood by some, but his ideas definitely had an influence into many different sectors of art. This paper will take a deep look into the life of Donald Judd as well as why he created art in the way and shape that he chose. The technologies that he uses
This feeling becomes stronger when it comes to personal objects, and especially clothes. In the installation “Resurrecturis”, clothes are used to represent the Greek people who have killed themselves during the last five years, as a result of the inhuman politics and imposed austerity. A clothe represents at the same time the absence and presence of a
Food is needed to sustain life. Artists are known to use food in their art. Some artists, most noted for their creative interpretations of themes including the presence of food are Kara Walker, Rirkrit Tiravanja, Janine Antoni, Robin Antar, and Patty Chang. Walker created a sugar sphinx. Tiravanja produces art out of a kitchen. Guests get to eat a meal made by him. His art is “part performance, part installation” . Antoni created seven chocolate busts and seven soap busts. Antoni gnawed chocolate
An amalgam of significant factors come into play with how people perceive the body, and because so many views encompass the notion of what “is” or “is not” the body, an amplitude of representations of it have surfaced in the art world. Corps étranger, a video installation piece by Mona Hatoum, is a wonderful portrayal of the body that takes into consideration both social and cultural issues. From the dawn of time, women have been placed upon a pedestal and unwillingly sexualized
