Site, Power, and Experience: Three Contemporary Installation Works on Global Mobility
Date: 2021-01-01
Creator: Xiyin Sabrina Lin
Access: Open access
- This Honors Project investigates the themes of immigration, space, and mobility through the lens of contemporary installation art. It addresses a brief history of global contemporary art, arguing that art of the past two decades has been shaped by preoccupations with and tensions surrounding space. Using the works of Yanagi Yukinori, Alfredo Jaar, and Doris Salcedo as case studies, the essay analyzes how artists use the medium of installation to address institutional history, contemporary geopolitics, as well as individual and collective experience. It interrogates the different aspects of installation art, including temporality, site-specificity, and the use of language, to demonstrate how the medium allows artists to use their own position in the system to critique its inherent limitations.
