Installation Art
¬ā Installationskunsten har gāā¢et sin sejrsgang verden over, og er her i det 21. āā¢rhundrede en bāā¢de vel- og anerkendt bestanddel af samtidskunsten. Med pāā¢virkning fra og udveksling mellem billedkunst pā⢠den ene side og performanceteater pā⢠den anden befinder installationskunst sig āĆƬ som bogens titel viser āĆƬ netop i feltet mellem billede og scene.¬ā
I¬ā Installation Art: Between Image and Stage¬ā undersāāger Anne Ring Petersen grundstenene for en af nutidens mest udbredte kunstformer. Installationer er āĆƬ ligesom skulpturer āĆƬ tredimensionelle formationer eller billeddannelser, men i modsā¶tning til skulpturen er installationen karakteriseret ved at vā¶re formet af rum eller rumlige scenografier, som skaber betydning og sanseoplevelser gennem sit billedsprog. Som resultat af dette er installationer ofte stort anlagte kunstvā¶rker, som beskueren kan gā⢠ind i, og de lever dermed til fulde op til nutidens krav om spektakulā¶re, ā¶stetisk iscenesatte events og kulturoplevelser, der taler til sanserne.¬ā
Gennem grundige analyser af vā¶rker af kunstnere som Bruce Nauman, Olafur Eliasson, Jeppe Hein, Mona Hatoum, Pipilotti Rist og Ilya Kabakov som bagtā¶ppe sāāges der i denne bog svar pāā¢, hvad en installation egentlig er, hvilke virkemidler den bruger, hvordan installationskunstens opstāā¢en kan forklares i et kulturhistorisk perspektiv og meget mere. Ogsā⢠installationskunstens rumlige, tidsmā¶ssige og diskursive aspekter sāā¢vel som dens receptionsā¶stetik, der sā¶ttes ind i en overordnet kunst- og kulturhistorisk ramme, undersāāges. Installation Art: Between Image and Stage er et nyttigt vā¶rk for alle, der āānsker at forstā⢠denne mangefacetterede kunstforms konceptuelle fundament.¬ā

Despite its large and growing popularity āĆĆ® to say nothing of its near- ubiquity in the worldāĆĆ“s art scenes and international exhibitions of contemporary art āĆĆ® installation art remains a form whose artistic vocabulary and conceptual basis have rarely been subjected to thorough critical examination.
In¬ā Installation Art: Between Image and Stage, Anne Ring Petersen aims to change that. She begins by exploring how installation art developed into an interdisciplinary genre in the 1960s, and how its intertwining of the visual and the performative has acted as a catalyst for the generation of new artistic phenomena. She investigates how it became one of today's most widely used art forms, increasingly expanding into consumer, popular and urban cultures, where installation's often spectacular appearance ensures that it meets contemporary demands for sense-provoking and immersive cultural experiences.
The main trajectory of the book is directed by a movement aimed at addressing a series of basic questions that get at the heart of what installation art is and how it is defined: How does installation structure time, space and representation? How does it address and engage its viewers? And how does it draw in the surrounding world to become part of the work? Featuring the work of such well-known artists as Bruce Nauman, Pipilotti Rist, Ilya Kabakov and many others, this book breaks crucial new ground in understanding the conceptual underpinnings of this multifacious art form.
Anne Ring Petersen¬ā is associate professor in the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies at the University of Copenhagen and the editor of¬ā Contemporary Painting in Context.
