Synopsis

The term "installation" defining site-specific sculpture has in recent years established itself firmly as part of the vocabulary of contemporary visual arts. This issue of "Art & Design" demonstrates the variety of approaches undertaking by artists working in this medium. Installation is an art which grew out of the individual narratives presented by architecture, painting, sculpture, theatre and performance. Central to most installation art is a notion of space as a visible material with properties such as wood or stone. "Installation Art" contains a large presentation of hitherto unpublished work by Arakawa and Madeline Gins, together with essays by Jean-Francois Lyotard, Thierry de Duve, the Museum of Installation, London and Corinne Diserens on Gordon Matta-Clarke. There are also statements and works by Joseph Kosuth, Richard Artschwager, James Turell, Cady Noland, Judith Barry, Lothar Baumgarten, Dan Graham, Donald Judd, Andrew Sabin and Anya Gallaccio.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Installation is arguably the most original, vigorous, and fertile form of art today. This book sets out to describe the tradition and explore the achievements and ambitions of the installation artist. Michael Archer's illuminating introduction traces the history of installation art from Duchamp's first readymade through the Pop tableaux of Kienholz, Oldenburg, Kaprow, and Dine to more recent developments such as Land Art and Process Art. Installation is a rich art form, often heroic in scale, sometimes witty and subversive, usually impermanent. This pioneering volume captures fully the variety and scale of these many-layered works—the essential contemporary record.

Revue de presse

“Duchamp and Christo, Schwitters and Nam June Paik are all part of this long tradition, traced here from the 19th century to the present in well-annotated illustrations.”—Library Journal

“No art form can rival installation for sheer variety of material, style, setting, and intent, a profusion well celebrated within these pages.”—Booklist
