Summary: The ascendancy of installation art has given rise to many new terms and has affected not just art, but also club culture, fashion, film and retail design. The phenomenon of Installation was first covered in the critically acclaimed Installation Art by the same authors. This new volume surveys the exciting ways in which Installation has evolved since then, embracing often unexpected media, and its worldwide influence. Installation has opened the field to experimental strategies beyond the traditionally visual, as impressively illustrated here in over 300 illustrations of work by artists as diverse as Doug Aitken, Vanessa Beacroft, Santiago Sierra and Mariko Mori. Its constant evolution, its refusal to accept boundaries and its creation of new dynamics between the artist, spectator and museum spaces, have given rise to astonishing and often challenging results.--publisher's website
