Space Site Intervention, Situating installation art by Erika Suderburg




"The line between art and life should be kept as fluid as possible,and perhaps indistinct as possible" Allan Kaprow

Confronting the 'innocence' of the site work is then produced and the generalization of a universal viewing subject is an important issues to rise when creating site specific work. The space is not just a physical space , an actual location with an innocence of form but is loaded with environmental context which should be  acknowledged even if artist chooses to disregard this context. The cultural framework defined by the institutions of art enforces a particular way art produced in this places are viewed as well public spaces. "The modern gallery/museum space.... with its stark white walls, artificial lighting
,controlled climate,pristine architectonics..........were deemed to be coded mechanisms that actively disassociate the space of art from the outer world"
