Installation art.

Think of the last time you visited an art gallery. Did any of the following cross your mind?” If only art wasn’t
so boring!” “I wish I hadn’t come here.” “If only artist would create something more exciting!” Well, times are
changing. A growing number of artists have chosen to challenge the traditional concept of art. They believe that
artist should be permitted to express their creativity in any way they please, and they should have the
opportunity to exhibit their work in all environments.
This desire for artistic freedom gave rise to a form of art called “installation art” which first became popular in
the late 1960s. The primary goal of installation art is to challenge the viewer’s perception of space by
transforming the ordinary into something quite extraordinary. Installation artists use a wide range of materials to
create their works, from sticks and foam to chairs and cars.
In 2003, the main hall of the Tate Modern in London, artist Olafur Eliasson installed a glowing sun and an
enormous mirror on the ceiling. The room was also filled with a mist made of sugar and water. The installation
was called The Weather Project and if you had visited the Tate museum at the time, you would have seen many
visitors lying on the floor and looking up at their reflections on the ceiling.
Sometimes, artists are asked to stage their installations in public areas. The Traffic Light Tree (1998) by
French sculpture Pierre Vivant, is a famous example. This unusual tree-like structure stands eight metres tall
and features seventy-five sets of blinking traffic lights. The tree is situated in Canary Wharf, one of London’s
main financial centres, and its flashing lights are intended to represent the energy and rhythms of the
surrounding area.
Installation artists often use their work of art to convey a message. In 2009, Brazilian artist, Nele Azevedo,
created an installation called Melting Men. The aim of the installation was to draw attention to the destructive
impact of global warming on our environment. Melting men consisted of a thousand little men made of ice,
which Azevedo placed sitting on the steps of a Berlin concert hall, only to be turned into a puddle a while later,
their rapid disappearance serving as a warning to humanity.
Since 2066, anonymous artists in Melbourne, Australia, have been delighting the locals with their imaginative
crate man installations. As the name implies, crate men are figures made entirely from brightly-coloured milk
crates. These comical creations have appeared at various locations across the city; one was found fishing beside
a creek; another was discovered climbing a fence, and one particular impressive installation featured two crate
men climbing a skyscraper.
Like it or hate it, installation art is here to stay, and will no doubt continue to surprise and entertain us for
years to come.
