About Installation Art
Product Description Installation Art provides both a history and a full critical examination of this challenging area of contemporary art, from 1950 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 categorised by the type of experience they provide for the viewing subject. As well 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. Review ""Shows a profound understanding of the subject and originality of approach. Rather than being a bland survey, it is critical and breaks new interpretative ground both of the phenomenon of installation art in general and particular works.."" -Margaret Iversen, University of Essex "An essential purchase and recommended reading for courses in contemporary art and post-war art (I would certainly set it in the courses I teach) . . . an important contribution to the field.."" -Michael Newman, The Art Institute of Chicago About the Author Claire Bishop is a tutor in Critical Theory in the Curating Contemporary Art department at the Royal College of Art, London.
