Module 2-2 Flashcards
Andrea Zittel
Artist who uses design and art to create pieces that are meaningful to her and other artists lives, encampments created to find a place away from home
Sculpture (Richard Serra)
Representational of a 3D form Has to be looked at 360degrees 3D = height, width, depth Physical entity, physical materials Has mass, volume and negative space
Diorama (mark Dion)
3D but in a specific contained space: No 360 view (front view only) 2D background illusion Objects within container 4th wall Educational/didactic elements
Tableau
Nobody or container but still look from front, set up as a scene
Installation (Ann Hamilton)
Ensemble of elements intended to be experienced as a single artwork (could be site specific), multi sensory, time based
Site specificity
Designed for that place and makes sense there: gives the art a new meaning and the place a new meaning…environmental/physical context changes meaning
Earthworks/Land Art (Robert Smithson Spiral Jetty)
Represents a way to think about time(seeing the environment change), part of the environment but also interacts and changes the environment as well, process art also.
Mel Chin: Revival Field
Using hyperaccumulators to change the pollution content of that environment, renewed ecology = the work of art
Christo and Jeanne Claude (Gates and Wrapped Reichstag)
Changing the meaning of the places - designed for that place and space specific.
