Location, Location, Location


Some artists consider the placement and space their art will inhabit equally as important as the work itself.

Installation art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that often are site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space.

Some artists install their work in a specific location.



The space where an artwork is placed can alter or change the way the viewer looks at or perceives the art.

Currently, there is an art show where each artists carefully considered the placement of their art.  The show is called Wonder.  Each artists designed their artwork for the space in the museum.




Think of a location that would be exciting to install your work.  


Would the space be indoors or outside? 


Would the space determine the size of your work or the materials you would use? 


Would you need to create many artworks or just one? 


Here are a few more installation artists.
