Installation Introduction
3L TASK
Teacher to introduce what Installation means - basically an interactive space (sometimes a sculpture) that uses a lot more senses
than just vision. For example, the audience may have to walk through an artwork, participate in creating the artwork (Yayoi Kusama),
sound, touch, smell may be used. Installations are usually quite large and use a variety of material and technologies. Many
installations are site specific (e.g. Jonathan Jones) meaning that their meaning is tied to the location of the work.
