Installation Art

c. 1960s–present

Installation Art developed as artists moved beyond discrete objects toward spatial experiences. Works often combine materials, light, sound, and architecture. The viewer’s movement and presence are central to the work. Installations blur boundaries between sculpture, architecture, and performance.
