Site-Specificity
Evolution of the Site

● Site-specificity as response to modernism's nomadic,
   placeless, self-referential artwork... spurred by
   minimalism in the 60's and 70's (Serra)

● Began to view Cultural Site of Institution and it's
   physical condition (Haacke, Ukeles)

● Conceptual Site - politically, economically,
   epistemologically (Haacke Polls)

● Public Sites (social issues) and Discursive Sites
Discussion
● Cyclical Evolutions
   ○ Reaction against Nomadism, Site-Bound, works
     back to Nomadism
   ○ The Anti-Commodity becomes Commodity
   ○ Leaving the Institution then becoming more
     integrated into the Institution
   ○ Artist as Author disappears and then reemerges

● Site-Specificity emphasized the experience.. The viewer
   had to be present for the completion of the work.
   What are some ways this focus on experience has
   developed or changed in Social Practice today?
