Installation art can include various arrangements of objects in any type of space. Every piece of Installation art is different. In contemporary installation art, pieces focus on the viewers experience. Many types of installation pieces present views of the artist, and shows significant points to their lives, which are shown through objects. Installation art varies within the space which is being used, the way its used and the difference in objects used. Presenting objects unusually and the space between certain objects is an important part of creating installation art. Artists use it as a means to connect to memories or specific events of times in history. Installation art can be made up of any medium (sculpture, film, painting etc.) and is always influenced by different things. Song Dong is an artist who used his life and all the belongings in his mothers house to create a space in a Museum Of Modern Art that mimicked his home. "Waste Not" Image Below...
We also discussed different kinds of Installation Art as we looked at Turbine Hall and many of the works displayed there in the past and present. We looked at artists such as, Doris Salcedo (crack in the floor, symbolized experience of unwelcome immigrants, racial hatred, social vs. politics) Ai Wei Wei (100 million porcelain sunflower seeds, currently displayed in Turbine Hall, also shows connection with politics and culture).
In my opinion Installation art is a great way to preserve history, but I don't believe I would consider it to be one of my favorite types of artwork.
