8. INSTALLATION ART
Art that is or has been installed — arranged in a place
— either by the artist or as specified by the artist.
Installations place a premium on space as an element
of designs.
Installations may be temporary or permanent, but
most will be known to posterity through
documentation.
It might be either site-specific or not, and either
indoors or out.
9. INSTALLATION ART
Designed to be viewed from the outside as a self-
contained arrangement of forms, installations often
envelop the viewer in the space of the work.
The viewer enters a controlled environment featuring
objects as well as light, sound and projected imagery.
It is the effect on the spectator's spacial and cultural
expectations that remains paramount.

18. In Infinity Mirrored Room – The Souls of Millions
of Light Years Away, hundreds of multicolored
LED lights, suspended at different heights and
dangling from floor to ceiling, transformed a
room into what feels like eternity. The cube-
shaped, mirror-paneled room had a shallow
reflecting pool as its floor and the lights
flickered on and off in a strobe-like effect.
Though similar to the ones Yayoi Kusama has
shown previously -Infinity Mirror Room at the
Tate Modern and Fireflies on the Water at the
Whitney Museum of Art - this one was made
especially for the exhibition at David Zwirner
gallery and still promised the viewer a
wonderfully surreal experience.
20. Rain Room, by London and Berlin-based collective
Random International, allowed you to experience
the rain without getting wet! First shown at
Barbican Centre from October 2012 to this March,
it came to New York, housed in a temporary gallery
next door to the MoMA museum. This was the
monumental installation's US debut.
23. In July, the city of Agueda, Portugal came alive as a colorful
canopies of umbrellas hung over its streets. Photographer
Patrícia Almeida took great shots of a similar installation last
year, which went viral. This was part of an art festival called
Agitagueda. Production company Sextafeira Produções had
created the cheery installation to turn traditional shopping
streets into an engaging visual experience.
25. From the Knees of My Nose to the Belly of My Toes is a surreal
display by British designer Alex Chinneck that makes it look like
the brick facade is sliding right off the front of a building in
Margate, England. The eye-catching installation, which took
Chinneck approximately one year to bring to fruition, took a
four-story residence that had been abandoned for eleven years
and replaced the old frontage with a new one that slumped
down and curved outward.

repeated duplication of the box-shaped
chicken wired to create a dreadful
atmosphere.
