I had major problems logging in, so sorry for the lateness.

When you think of installation, you think of the normal art piece that one can move into. Giant paintings, sculptures, ect. When reading this book, the thought of installation beginning to cover more of a medium outside of being just art, and becoming its own genra of sorts, got me to thinking of how everything can be some for of installation art. (Decorating your dorm for example.) But it was interesting to read how installation as a whole has evolved into a whole new art form, compared to how it used to be.

Although, I still stand by the idea that the term installation art cannot be defined. From all the books we read last quarter and this one, it seems hard to try and escape the mentality that we have to have a cemented, structured definition of what can be seen as installation, and just a “normal art piece. So my question is, Can you define Installation? It can be an idea, or terms you have to follow, but does it HAVE to be as what we define it to be? A room we interact with, or a art piece that makes us wish we could interact with it?
