Day 6 installation art

So in the previous class we were told to research five installation artists. This is the first time I am doing even minutely related to installation. I, therefore, had no idea where to begin searching. I started looking for names. The first name that I encountered was that of Ann Hamilton. She makes installation which are grand in size and in experience. The material is mixed media. The instillation she makes always involve using a huge space.

The installation " The event of a thread" is one such installation. All the elements of the installation are connected to each other. The curtain connected to the swings through threads and the swings to people.

The next name that I came across was that of Do Ho Suh, a Korean installation artist. 

The installation " High School Uni-Form" signifies the importance of society in creating the identity of a  person.

His installation are all about bringing forward the culture he was brought up in and the culture he adhere's to now. He likes to show the difference in him through his installations. Another artist who I found really interesting was David Mach. He uses mass produced items in his installations.

" Adding fuel to the fire" is an installation made of  magazines, a car and a truck. His sense of surrealism is quite amazing.

The next artist is not as well known as these three. her name is Sarah Sze. Her installations are mostly mixed media. 

This installation of hers is called " An equal and opposite reaction" and it is made of all kinds of found items and everyday products.

The last name that I came across was that of Janet Echelman. She makes installations which are usually wind or kinetic installations. She has used all kinds of materials. Even though her style remains consistent her medium has always been different.

This series of installations was made by her in India in Mahabalipuram. This intallation is made using only fish netswhich have been knotted together.

Her installations like that of Ann Hamilton are big but not as interactive.
