Installation art is an artistic genre of site-specific, three-dimensional works designed to transform the perception of a space.
B. What materials are used installation art?
After doing a bit of research it is proven that there are no specific types of materials an artist has to use when creating installation art. The artists can in a way use whatever they want to be able to get the specific genre that they want for their piece.
C. Why make installation art?
An artist makes installation art as a form of self expression and also the attract specific emotions from the observer. In many of images that I have seen on online each of the pieces of work that incorporate installation art are in a small or large spaces. In these spaces the reason why they place the objects like they do, or the way the room is set up is to as explained above attract an emotion.
D. Which artist/installation did I find most interesting?
The installation I found to be most interesting is "Fireflies on the Water" by Yayoi Kusama. I originally wanted to use the concept that was portrayed in this installation but had a difficult time creating it myself. The purpose of the piece was to have viewers forget about the outside world and enter into an imaginative world. The piece was absolutely beautiful.
A. From the material reviewed, is there a inspiration piece that I feel a connection with?
The inspiration piece that I felt the biggest connection with was Thomas Hirschhorn "Jumbo Spoons and Big Cake." I truley felt like in a way this piece resembled what my house looks like sometimes after a busy week-and my pictures will represent that.
B. What theme do I want to explore in my installation? Refer to your textbook if you need to review Themes of Art. (chapter 3 in text)
(Nature, Environment, Self, Mass Media, Consumerism, etc.)
The theme in the book that I want to explore with my installation was "Stories and History." I was trying to tell a story with my images that I had captured that I consider to be installation art.
C. What materials will I use?
The materials that I used was my bed, bedspread, blankets, dirty laundary, plasma tv, tv stand, alarm clock- almost just about everything in my room besides my closet.
My installation was located in my room. The reason why it was located in my room is because, as mentioned in the text my images represent someone or someones that have had a busy week and this is the aftermath of it.
