What Is Installation?


Installation in terms of art has also in relation to the new genre of contemporary art where it varies in a form of 2-D and 3-D materials to have an effect or influence the way we perceive or experience within a particular space or area. Moreover, installations are also describe as a way to make the viewer or the user to think deeply, critically about the value of life and realising today's in an increasingly uncertain world such as facing, for instance, climate change, globalised consumerism and social fragmentation.

Furthermore, installation artists see their part of presenting their works in giving out message to the viewer or the user are more important than with the means used to achieve it. It is also in a way, more grounded (an area of knowledge or subject of discussion or thought) where it shows and also can be physically use or interact with.

Installation art came about in the 1990's as a significant movement in post-modern art such as Hans Haacke, Victor Burgin and Barbara Kruger who previously influence the style of post-modern art.
