“Unlike traditional art works, Installation art has no autonomous existence. It is usually created for a particular space, exhibition or otherwise, and its meaning is dependent on site and witness.”
“Although the term ‘Installation art’ has become widely used it is still relatively non-specific. It refers to a wide range of artistic practices, and often overlaps with other interrelated areas including Fluxus, Earth Art, Minimalism, Video art, Performance art, Conceptual art and Process art. Site specificity, institutional critique, temporality, and ephemerality are issues shared by many practitioners of these genres.”
“Installation art is usually dependent on the configurations of a particular space or situation. Even if the same installation is remade in more than one location, it will not be exactly the same in two places, owing to the differences between spaces. The physical characteristics of the space have an enormous effect on the final product.” ‘From Margin to Centre, The Spaces of Installation Art.’ Julie H.Reiss.
