Installation Art:When did it first appear?
• 1970s• Marcel Duchamp’s “ready-mades”• Allan Kaprow’s “happenings”• Performance Art• Conceptual Art• Post-Modernist
How is installation art different than sculpture?
Kaprow staged “happenings” – the art was activated by the participants. For this happening, participants had to use
their body heat to melt the blocks of ice. He called the installation “Fluid.”

Installation Art:Why is it important?
• You tell me.
![Page 27: Installation Art:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814930550346895db6700e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• An installation is more about how you experience or perceive the message as opposed to a 3-D object placed for you to view alone. You become a part of installation art.

• What if I said to you: “You can turn my classroom into an installation – with a few exceptions.” Where would you start? Would you think about the environment? Would you need to measure or plan? Would you think about the materials you need?
