  24. Installation Art:When did it first appear? • 1970s • Marcel Duchamp’s “ready-mades” • Allan Kaprow’s “happenings” • Performance Art • Conceptual Art • Post-Modernist How is installation art different than sculpture? Kaprow staged “happenings” – the art was activated by the participants. For this happening, participants had to use their body heat to melt the blocks of ice. He called the installation “Fluid.”

  25. Installation Art:Where can you find it? • Mattress Factory Museum, Pittsburgh • many other museums and galleries • public places • here?

  26. Installation Art:Why is it important? • You tell me.

  27. An installation is more about how you experience or perceive the message as opposed to a 3-D object placed for you to view alone. You become a part of installation art.

  28. What if I said to you: “You can turn my classroom into an installation – with a few exceptions.” Where would you start? Would you think about the environment? Would you need to measure or plan? Would you think about the materials you need?
