The Perpetuation of Site-Specific Installation Artworks in Museums : Staging Contemporary Art, Hardback Book

The Perpetuation of Site-Specific Installation Artworks in Museums : Staging Contemporary Art Hardback

Hardback

Description

Site-specific installations are created for specific locations and are usually intended as temporary artworks.

The Perpetuation of Site-Specific Installation Artworks in Museums: Staging Contemporary Art shows that these artworks consist of more than a singular manifestation and that their lifespan is often extended.

In this book, Tatja Scholte offers an in-depth account of the artistic production of the last forty years.

With a wealth of case studies the author illuminates the diversity of site-specific art in both form and content, as well as in the conservation strategies applied.

A conceptual framework is provided for scholars and museum professionals to better understand how site-specific installations gain new meanings during successive stages of their biographies and may become agents for change in professional routines.
