Installation art
• Art made for specific space, exploiting certain qualities of that space, more often indoors than out. The term became widely used in the 1970s and 1980s largely replacing the term site-specific which means the same thing. Installations may be temporary or permanent but most will be known to posterity through documentation. As a consequence, one aspect of installations is often the difficulty with which they can be commodified (commodity). Artists especially identified with installations are Walter De Maria (American, 1938-), Nancy Holt (American,1938-) and Mary Miss (American,1944-)

Felix Gonzalez-Torres (Installation Artist)
•Works reflect his experience with AIDS and loss of his lover
•A pile of foil packaged candy which the audience can take, and eventually diminishes, symbolizes how art is temporary and is also a metaphor for the process of dying.

Today was make-up class for Monday, which was LASALLE's Founders Day. Class started at 2pm all the way 'till 9.30pm at night, but even Kai was tired so we ended 30 minutes earlier which was quite a surprise.
Had a new lecturer - Kal, British guy for our critique. And we pitched all our ideas to the class, which they gave comments on which certainly helped a lot in the development of my idea.
My proposal's due the coming Monday, gotta start doing it now. Good luck, all.
