● INSTALLATION ART
By: Maria Christina Austria
● INSTALLATION ART is a form of art which is “installed” or “put in” its surroundings or
environment. It is often site specific and designed to transform the perception of a space.
Installation art came to prominence in the 1970s, and installation artworks can be constructed
in exhibition spaces such as museums and galleries, as well as public and private spaces. Some
installations, however, are designed simply to be walked around and contemplated, or are so
fragile that they can only be viewed from a doorway, or one end of a room.

What makes installation art different from sculpture or other traditional art forms is that it is a
complete unified experience, rather than a display of separate, individual artworks. It also
creates a high level of intimacy between itself and the viewer as it exists not as a precious object
to be merely looked at but as a presence within the overall context of its container whether that
is a building, museum, or designated room. The ideas behind a piece of Installation art, and the
responses it elicits, tend to be more important than the quality of its medium or technical merit.
 Artists champion this genre for its potential to transform the art world by surprising audiences
and engaging viewers in new ways

Immersive- A key attribute of installation art is its ability to physically interact with viewers.
For example, a restaurant designed to look like a ninja village complete with actors that draw
visitors into a story.
 
Large-Scale- Given their interactive nature, most works of installation art are large in scale. Their
sizable statures enable viewers to become completely immersed in each larger-than-life
environment.
 
Site-Specific- Unlike sculptures, paintings, and similar pieces, installations are usually planned
with certain sites in mind, from rooms in galleries and museums to outdoor spaces.

● CONCEPTUALISM

• In Conceptualism, the idea or concept behind the work of art became more important than the
actual technical skill or aesthetic. 

• Conceptualism is often used as a negative term for what people dislike about contemporary art
which revolves around the concept.

• Conceptualism refers to the Anglo-American art movement that blossomed in the 1960s and
1970s. The idea, planning and production process of the artwork were seen as more important
than the actual result.

● The Origins of Conceptual Art- Although Conceptual art was first defined in the 1960s, its origins
trace back to 1917, when Marcel Duchamp famously bought a urinal from a plumber’s shop and
submitted it as a sculpture in an open sculpture exhibition in New York, for which he was on the
selection committee. The jury rejected the work, deeming it immoral, and refusing to accept it
as art. Duchamp’s questioning of where the boundaries of art lie and his critique of the art
establishment paved the way for Conceptual art.
● The Secret Art by Mel Ramsden

● Erased de Kooning Drawing by Robert Rauschenberg

● This conceptual work presents an almost blank piece of paper in a gilded frame. It was created
in 1953 when Rauschenberg erased a drawing he obtained from the Abstract Expressionist and
American artist Willem de Kooning.

● PHOTOREALISM

• Photorealism is a genre of art that encompasses painting, drawing and other graphic media, in

which an artist studies a photograph and then attempts to reproduce the image as realistically
as possible in another medium.

• Photorealism is a painting style that emerged in Europe and the USA in the late 1960s,
characterized by its painstaking detail and precision.

● ORIGINS OF PHOTOREALISM

● The word Photorealism was coined by Louis K. Meisel in 1969 and appeared in print for the first
time in 1970 in a Whitney Museum catalogue for the show "Twenty-two Realists." It is also
sometimes labeled as Super-Realism, New Realism, Sharp Focus Realism, or Hyper-Realism.

● Louis K. Meisel, two years later, developed a five-point definition at the request of Stuart M.
Speiser, who had commissioned a large collection of works by the Photorealists, which later
developed into a traveling show known as 'Photo-Realism 1973: The Stuart M. Speiser
Collection', which was donated to the Smithsonian in 1978 and is shown in several of its
museums as well as traveling under the auspices of 'site'.

● The definition for the 'originators' was as follows:

1. The Photo-Realist uses the camera and photograph to gather information.

2. The Photo-Realist uses a mechanical or semi-mechanical means to transfer the information to

the canvas.

3. The Photo-Realist must have the technical ability to make the finished work appear
photographic.

4. The artist must have exhibited work as a Photo-Realist by 1972 to be considered one of the
central Photo-Realists.

5. The artist must have devoted at least five years to the development and exhibition of Photo-
Realist work.

● Chuck Close

● Chuck Close is a well-known photorealistic artist who makes his artwork on an enormous scale.
Though Close often uses close-shot photographs in his work, many of his pieces are painted or
drawn. Big Self-Portrait (above) is acrylic on canvas.
 ● Elizabeth Patterson

● Elizabeth Patterson's artistic career was put on hold in 1984 after a severe injury left her without
use of her drawing hand. Returning to art 15 years later, she hit upon her defining style: urban
scenes as viewed from the behind a car windscreen in the rain, drawn using coloured pencil,
graphite and a touch of solvent, which manage to be both impressionistic and photorealistic in
their execution.

● Jason De Graaf

● Jason De Graaf explains his photorealistic strategies: "My paintings are about staging an
alternate reality, an illusion of verisimilitude on the painted surface. I try to use objects as a
vehicle to express myself, tell a story or least hint at something beyond what is actually
painted".

STREET ART
BY: KATRINA ALVARAN

WHAT IS STREET ART?

Street art is a form of artwork that is displayed in public on surrounding buildings, on streets, trains and
other publicly viewed surfaces. Many instances come in the form of guerrilla art, which is intended to
make a personal statement about the society that the artist lives within.

BRIEF HISTORY OF STREET ART

The history of street art originated with tagging, or scratching names on public property. Graffiti artists
in the 1970s and 1980s began to inspire people like Keith Haring, who did chalk drawings in the New
York City subway system before rising to prominence in the art world.

DID YOU KNOW?

Hambleton was a Canadian-American street artist who is widely credited as the original godfather of
street art and kingpin of the creative revolution that exploded in the East Side in the 1980s.

● “Ang Bakunawa at Minokawa” by Gerilya featuring eagle and dragon-like creatures from Filipino
mythology

DIFFERENT TYPES OF STREET ARTS

GRAFFITI
One of the most popular street art is the one done on walls. It
has a history which goes back to the ancient Egyptian and
Greek period. Graffiti can be used to give out a message or
just to make a plain wall look more attractive.

SCULPTURE
Sculptures are the 3D structures made by artists that are
displayed on the streets. It includes processes such as
carving, modelling and casting to make sculptures. 

Poster art is a type of 2D artistic drawing that is

printed or drawn on papers. The artists use creative
painting and calligraphic skills to create posters.
These posters are attached to the walls or hanged vertically on different events for the viewers.

POSTER ART
Poster art is a type of 2D artistic drawing that is printed or drawn on papers. The artists use creative
painting and calligraphic skills to create posters. These posters are attached to the walls or hanged
vertically on different events for the viewers.

3D WALL GRAFFITI
One of the most popular types of street art that attracts
customers is the 3D wall graffitis. It gives the feel like the
objects in the art are popping out of the wall. .

SPRAY PAINT MURAL

Many artists like to draw paintings directly on the walls
using spray paints. These are called murals and are usually
the representation of the abstract ideas of the artists

SIDE WALK CHALK ART

Many artists are talented enough to create realistic images on the
sidewalks. You may see a real man standing across the street, but as you
move closer, you will find that it is only an elongated piece of art drawn
on the sidewalk.
