{"title":"Site-Specific Installation Art in Historical Perspective","authors":"T. Scholte","doi":"10.2307/j.ctv25wxbgr.5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv25wxbgr.5","url":null,"abstract":"The argument in this chapter starts with a discussion of the art historical\u0000 discourse on site-specific installation art. Artists as well as critics have\u0000 explored various notions of site specificity, usually in concordance with\u0000 successive art historical periods: the first “wave” of site-specific installations\u0000 created during the late 1960s and early 1970s, and a second period, from the\u0000 1980s and early 1990s until today. The chapter elucidates several art historical\u0000 perspectives on both periods and the shifts occurring in the relationship\u0000 between artists and museum institutions, between the artwork and the\u0000 site. Furthermore, it is important to realize that site-specific installation\u0000 artworks are highly diverse in form, content, and meaning. For the current\u0000 purpose of developing a model with an eye to the artworks’ perpetuation,\u0000 a chronological approach is only partly effective. A further abstraction in\u0000 categorization is needed, focusing on the network of site-specific functions\u0000 and their changes over time. To this end, a selection of relevant notions\u0000 elucidate the extended lives of site-specific installations, which I derive\u0000 from case studies and observations made by artists and art historians in this respect. The discussion is a prelude to chapter 3, in which I take\u0000 the vocabulary for site-specific installation artworks one step further by\u0000 employing a triadic set of spatial functions, which I derive from Henri\u0000 Lefebvre’s theory on space.","PeriodicalId":103627,"journal":{"name":"The Perpetuation of Site-Specific Installation Artworks in Museums","volume":"94 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124802156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
