There are always arguments about the relationship between public sculpture and site specific art. Some people believe there is a very deep relationship between them, while others insist the link seems pointless. They have argued this issue for so many years. However, at this stage, an unshakeable conclusion has been made that the relationship between them is proved and it is very important. The reason for that will be discussed within this essay. The 20th century is a colorful era, various trends
In this essay I will be exploring the nature of the challenges Site-Specific theatre presents. It is ever growing as a genre with practitioners such as Punchdrunk and Station House Opera leading the way in the UK, as performances not set in conventional theatre buildings are becoming increasingly popular. Conventional theatres provide a comfortable performance arena with unspoken rules an audience adheres to, as explored by Nicolas Bourriaud in Relational Aesthetics suggesting that ‘forms, patterns
realize the necessity to keep the e-commerce sites fluid. E-commerce is a dynamic and constantly changing medium. Customers are fluid also and can move their business to other sites, or as we will show later, use several sites to complete their purchases. Quality improvements and organizational changes are constant to deter the customers from leaving a site and looking elsewhere for products. Adding the creative products to a current well optimized site offers benefit. The benefit can produce positve
Art is known as a way an artist expresses emotion or creative skill. The act of expressing this skill or emotion can be demonstrated using many different materials and techniques. Artist Kendall Buster has been known to use semi-transparent shade cloth, paper, thin steel sheeting and steel rods for constructing her artwork. Artist Tara Donovan has been known to use everyday materials such as paper cups, Styrofoam cups, straws, and torn paper to express her art. Both artists create site-specific installation
participatory arts festivals The arts have been known to be good community generators. Many arts advocacy groups are a part of the development of healthy engaged neighborhoods. There are a wide range of ways for which art can engage communities. The Art festival is a temporary approach with long lasting value. A one or two day can range from music festivals, performances, art fairs, participatory arts festivals, and so on. Focusing on a few examples of participatory and interactive arts festivals, and
In this semester, we have visited three public art agencies of NYC, which are the Percent for Art Program, the MTA’s Arts for Transit program, and Creative Time. These public art organizations commission public art to the public. They integrate and apply arts to sites through process and research based on artists’ practices. Public art agencies have similar goal that is to put artworks in appropriate sites and to get response from audiences. In this paper, I will discuss the three agencies we visited
DeviantART (also known as dA) is a website widely known as an online art market to artists today as a place to showcase or sell their artworks. The site made it possible for artists to upload their original artworks for the public to see and perhaps for other to purchase. The deviantART community has dramatically influenced many contemporary artists to now rely on the use of an online gallery to both display and sell their works as opposed to depending of a gallery in the offline world. deviantART
Robert Smithson Robert Smithson is best known as a pioneer of the Earthworks movement. However his involvement in the development of Earthworks is only one of his many contributions to postwar American art. His most popular concepts he innovated was a “site,” which is a place in the world where art is inseparable from its context. In addition to large-scale land interventions, Smithson’s artistic practice also includes photography, painting, film, and language. Robert Smithson was born in Passaic

Artist Kendall Buster has been known to use semi-transparent shade cloth, paper, thin steel sheeting and steel rods for constructing her artwork.

What is ‘Art’? Does the term describe a tangible object, experiential event, process, technique, medium, or creative skill? Does it imply attractive decoration, pleasant arrangement, and sound financial investment - or can art provoke, be unattractive, make people uncomfortable, and be fleeting? Today, Art is subjective, open to interpretation and encompasses the spectrum of the visual, literary, dance, and musical humanities - often overlapping one another. As such, Art and its practice can

Every building has one site. This site collects all purposes of the building. Both the building and the site are a determinant factor for each other as from the beginning of architecture. At this point, the urban voids are anchored to one place. This connection comes to light by associations that occur with myths and historical events. Today, the link between voids should be designed in a new way that is one of the structural transformations in modern life. Holl believes that “architecture should

As an English contemporary artist, Tracey Emin is known best for her autobiographical and confessional artwork, during the art period of Young British Artists. Emin produces her artwork in a variety of mediums including drawing, painting, film, photography, neon text, and sewn appliqué. In comparison, Dame Paula Rego, a Portuguese-born British visual artist, is particularly well known for her paintings and prints based upon storybooks and fairy tales. Often Rego will paint within the genres of surrealism

In Boca Raton’s Museum of Art, the piece that inspired me the most was Szilárd Cseke, Installation in Hungarian Pavilion, Venice Biennale, 2015. “He constructs an entirely new site-specific installation. Since the mid-1990s, Szilárd Cseke has been creating installations that deal with themes of migration and identity assembled from found objects and ephemeral industrial materials with moving parts and neon lighting.” (Citation 1) Szilárd Cseke early life had a lot to do with how he is now successful
Abraham Cruzvillegas and Jessica Stockholder are both famous and successful artists. Cruzvillegas makes most of his art and sculptures within the landscape of his former home (walkerart.org). Stockholder’s art is made in a similar fashion. Artnet.com states that every one of her art pieces “is created specifically for the site in which they’re placed”, something known to Stockholder as “installations”. Both artists base their paintings and sculptures on their environment, not just their emotions
The right to attribution and integrity. As the boundaries of what is considered “Art” have been progressively pushed to their limits, it has become more and more difficult for the law to draw the line on what is an artistic work. There are three key issues which this essay identifies and seeks to resolve. Firstly, that the categories of artistic works are vaguely defined and do not adequately reflect contemporary artistic practice. Secondly, that the test for what qualifies as an artistic work should
INTRODUCTION Art festivals are temporary events that can result in long lasting value for building socially engaged communities. Focusing on participatory art festivals to explore the spatial and social relationships that offer ways for communities to build strong social connections within the public realm. In The Creative Community Builder’s Handbook, by Tom Borrup, five ways in which arts and culture can build communities are identified: by promoting interaction in public spaces, increasing civic
levels from the past to place constraints on the dates of rock art in coastal environments. We show that by using various methods to map paleoshorelines in Scandinavia we can determine an absolute upper limit for some rock art sites whereas in others it is not applicable and other methods must be used. By assuming rock art was created on the shoreline in conjunction with style comparisons to other sites we can place relative dates on some sites. 2. The focus on shorelines – why they are important It has
