installations

February 1st, 2009

This isn’t a new article but I just found it. I don’t know what to think about art installations at times I’m disgusted by them and feel they are just propaganda to make ones self rich off of the most bizzar works imaginable. Other times I’m in Awe of some of them and try to get into the place the artists is when they are creating this extension of their thought patterns. What do you think of the work above by artist Hannes Broecker? This is his exhibition in Germany? I think he’s trying to arouse our sense of taste. I also think sensory overload is exactly how I feel about most installation art in one way or the other. The screens were filled with colorful cocktails that the viewer could put a glass to and have a drink of art. This is a very cool concept, the idea of watching the art fade away by the viewers interaction with it. In the end what does it become just a blank screen on the wall? or is it still art?
