INSTALLATION ART: READYMADES AND FOUND OBJECTS

 

Installation art is a term generally used to describe artwork located in three-dimensional interior space as the word "install" means putting something inside of something else. In our class we adapt this  concept to arrange readymades and found objects in order to create an installation that has meaning.

 

Concepts Addressed today:

Readymades

Found Objects


III


Watch the videos bellow:


READY MADES

The readymades of Marcel Duchamp are ordinary manufactured objects that the artist selected and modified, as an antidote to what he called "retinal art". By simply choosing the object and repositioning or joining, titling and signing it, the Found object became art.



FOUND OBJECTS

Found object originates from the French objet trouvé, describing art created from undisguised, but often modified, objects or products that are not normally considered materials from which art is made, often because they already have a non-art function.
