Cierra- History of Installation

 What stands out from this writing?

The definition of installation art was interesting. ChatGPT described space as a canvas and stated that installation art is a multi-sensory experience. I agree that an installation must utilize the environment that it inhabits and that it is a multi-sensory experience. 

What could be added to this writing?

When discussing the history of installation art, I feel it is essential to mention GRAV.  This was a movement that happened in Paris in the early 1960s that incorporated OP-Art and Installation. I also do not know if the work Spiral Jetty is considered installation art or Earth Art. In a way, Earth Art transforms a space but I wouldn't consider public sculpture to be an installation. 

When was the first installation work created?

The earliest evidence of Installation Art is Kurt Schwitters Merzbau which included a series of installations in rooms of his house during the 1930s. Another example is Allan Kaprow's  Environments (1957) which would be considered an early form of installation art.
