1. What is installation art? A space in a room, or outside, that can be entered, explorer, experienced and reflected upon. Placement is in exhibition space where people are invited inside. Most installation art is in a room.
2. Materials are everyday, common place items. Fabric, wood, lights, cloth...in my artwork, I used tin foil.
3. Why make installation art? It asks people to explore and experience. This is different than simply looking at a painting, or sculpture.
4. My favorite artist is definitely Christo and Jeanne-Claude. They hung the Gates in New York City. I will do a version of the Gates with my project.
Step 4 Questions:
A. Yes, I loved the gates by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. I want to hang a different material in one room, and see what happens.
B. The element I want to explore is Texture and Pattern, such a visual texture, this is apparent in the smooth, shiny foil I am using.
C. I will use sheet of tin foil
D. The installation is above a couch in the computer room of my house. It will partially enclose the couch, maybe even give a trapped feeling. The shiny appearance may give a futuristic feeling.
4. The installation is hanging tin foil above a couch, in front of a TV. You can experience the art by going behind the tin foil barrier, and looking from on the couch. You get a trapped feeling, caged in a way.
5. The shiney foil seems futuristic, like a science fiction event. I will leave it up all day to enjoy!
6. You have to plan by coming up with a general idea, then trying to find the ideal site. I wanted to do something like The Gates. If I did not find this perfect site, I would have selected a different project. This ended up being a fun assignment.
