Site specific art



Site specific art. Site-specific art is artwork created to exist in a certain place. Typically, the artist takes the location into account while planning and creating the artwork. Outdoor site-specific artworks often include landscaping combined with permanently sited sculptural elements (the movement is linked with Environmental art). Indoor site-specific artworks may be created in conjunction with (or indeed by) the architects of the building. More broadly, the term is sometimes used for any work that is (more or less) permanently attached to a particular location. In this sense, a building with interesting architecture could be considered a piece of site-specific art. Artists producing site-specific works include Robert Smithson, Andy Goldsworthy, Christo, Richard Serra, Yumi Kori, Brandon LaBelle, Guillaume Bijl, Christian Bernard Singer, Betty Beaumont and younger artists like Mark Divo, John K. Melvin, Lennie Lee, Luna Nera, Wrights & Sites, Sarah Sze, Seth Wulsin, Ben Cummins and Simparch.

I am for an art...that does something other than sit on its ass in a museum.

PARKETT ART : Parkett is published in direct collaboration with important international artists, whose oeuvre is explored in several essays by leading writers and critics. Each artist also creates a special signed and numbered edition exclusive to Parkett, which may take any form, from unique works of art to prints and multiples.

DAMIEN HIRST : "Art is like medicine--it can heal. Yet I've always been amazed at how many people believe in medicine but don't believe in art, without questioning either." Damien Hirst has continually challenged the boundaries between art, science, the media and popular culture. A 12-foot tiger shark,a cow and her calf sawn in two, pharmacy bottles, house paint poured onto spinning canvases, cigarette butts, medicine cabinets, office furniture, medical instruments, butterflies and tropical fish, and, most recently, a diamond-encrusted skull are just some of the means Damien Hirst employs to communicate his unflinching view of the ambiguity at the heart of human experience.
Void presents masterpieces from the Heiner and Celine Bastian colelction: prints, sculptures, and installations.

MAGNUM : Magnum Magnum brings together the best work, celebrating the vision, imagination, and brilliance of Magnum photographers, both the acknowledged greats of photography in the twentieth century - among them Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Eve Arnold, Marc Riboud, and Werner Bischof - and the modern masters and rising stars of our time, such as Martin Parr, Susan Meiselas, Alec Soth, and Donovan Wylie. And it shows the work at a breathtaking scale: the vast page size of Magnum Magnum gives the photos an impact never seen before in book form.
