Fashionable. Engaging. Controversial. This program defines what has come to be known as installation art, while providing a number of examples that unite diverse elements such as architecture, sculpture, painting, video, music, and performance. Richard Wilson, creator of the acclaimed 20:50; Tracey Emin, whose My Bed caused a media sensation; and other contemporary artists talk about their environmental and site-specific art, through which they manipulate space and perception while exploring the dynamic tension between artwork and its setting.
