More About This Textbook

Overview

Installation Art provides both a history and a full critical examination of this challenging area of contemporary art, from 1960 to the present day. Using case studies of significant artists and individual works, Claire Bishop argues that, as installation art requires its audience to physically enter the artwork in order to experience it, installation pieces can be categorized by the type of experience they provide for the viewing subject. As wee as exploring the methodologies of the artists examined, Bishop also explains the critical theory that informed their work. While revising and, in some cases, re-assessing many well-known names, this fully illustrated book will introduce the reader to a wide spectrum of younger artists, some yet to receive critical attention.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Installation art is more of an impulse than a unitary movement, and artists from the surrealists to the minimalists have created installations. London Evening Standard critic Bishop (curator, Royal Coll. of Art, London) offers a simple but comprehensive breakdown of the subgenres of post-1960 installation art and explores the ideological underpinnings of installation. While the art may be political, confrontational, dreamlike, or a purely aesthetic experience, all of its artists, Bishop explains, are invested in expanding the role of the art viewer from that of a passive observer of static objects to an active participant in an enveloping art experience. She also examines weaknesses of installation, e.g., that the intent of the artist is frequently overlooked or overwhelmed by the peripheral experiences of the viewer. The many photographs do a reasonable job of documenting the works of such artists as Vito Acconci, Ilya Kabakov, and Olafur Eliasson. An excellent introduction to an important aspect of contemporary art, this work is recommended for academic and larger public libraries.-Amy K. Weiss, Univ. of California, Santa Barbara Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
