A different art form

Installation art is a contemporary type of art that uses sculptural materials and other media to modify the way we experience a particular space. Installation art is not necessarily confined to gallery spaces and can be any material intervention in everyday public or private spaces. Installation art incorporates almost any media to create an experience in a particular environment. Materials used in contemporary installation art range from everyday and natural materials to new media such as video, sound, performance, computers and the internet. Some installations are site-specific in that they are designed to only exist in the space for which they were created.

Some examples of installation art are: this installation made of umbrellas,


This installation that consists of some lampposts from the 1920s and ’30s,


And this one that is made of cans and plastic bottles, isn't it curious?
