Site Specific Art

Site-Specific Art is a form of artwork created to exist in a particular location, with the artist considering the site as an integral part of the creative process. Robert Irwin was a key figure in promoting this art form in California. Site-Specific Art emerged as a reaction against modernist objects, which were often portable, commodified, and confined to museum spaces. In contrast, Site-Specific Art is inherently tied to its location, challenging the traditional notions of art as a transportable and marketable commodity.

Live Art

Live art is a form of performance that began in the 1960s and is generally exploratory and innovative. It involves a single artist or an artist group presenting the work before a live audience. The performances can include humans, animals, and living plants, often blurring the boundaries between art and life, and encouraging interaction with the audience.

Fluxus

Derived from the Latin word meaning flow, Fluxus is an international movement of designers, composers, and artists known for blending various artistic disciplines and media during the 1960s. The movement remains active in visual art, performance, design, architecture, urban planning, and other creative fields. Fluxus is sometimes referred to as nter-media and continues to play a pivotal role in expanding the definitions of what art can be.
