Installation can have a huge impact on a piece of artwork and the space surrounding that piece. The space the artwork is in can effect the piece of art in many different ways. The term "site-specific" also plays a role when it come to space. This is when a artist is taking the location into account when creating the piece of art.
This weeks field trip was to the Sculpture Center which was only a couples of minutes from school. The exhibit we viewed was called “Bill Bollinger: The Retrospective” and was very different from the other exhibits I saw. The three works of art I choose that were interesting to me were "Cyclone Fence", "Drop light" and "Rope Piece". Due to the instillation of these artwork the space around them make them stand out more. They are spread out instead of being cluttered together , which helps you identify and focus on one piece of artwork. I feel like the history and location does inform my perception of the work just because I feel as if the artworks relate to location. The Location tends to look like a more construction site and the artworks tend to go along with that look. If this artwork was to be placed in a different type of space I would think it would have a different effect. If it was placed in a smaller area then thee would be few installation space for the artwork. This would take away from the artwork and the space that surrounds it. The art work interacts by
