Installation art is hot right now.
For years no one seemed to know what an installation was, now it's everywhere. From Documenta 9 to the Whitney Biennial. There are even galleries and museums completely devoted to it, here and in Europe. As an artist who has been doing installation art since 1979, the explosive growth of my chosen practice is both satisfying and frustrating. Further, installation's insistence on the importance of multiple fragments of sensory information and context is part of my own fascination with the art form.
