Artist Study.
We had to pick Installation artists and study their works, i decide to choose artist's who had very different works from each other.
somehow all were indian artists.
1st artist who i presented was Vivan Sundaram, he is an indian contemporary artist. His work constantly refers to the social problems and current affairs. A lot of this recent installation work is to do with popular culture. He uses different media's- including sculpture, installation, print making and photographs.
He showed tendency towards figurative representation and dealt with problem of identity. installation called house/boat made after the dislocation of many people due to floods and tsunami.
I'm extremely fascinated by his recent work 'Making strange' he likes to call them wearable installation. He has used ordinary daily use everyday materials like plastic cups, sanitary napkins, bandage, bras ect to make unusual garments, these garments are a play of fashion which a popular culture. He called the walk 'GAGAWAKA' as it sounds to him like a brand name. For him this particular installation was not fashion but was art as he was using material to translate popular culture.

4th artist.
Ranbir kaleka-
works with various media works, a lot of his work is about the historical events and issues,though what makes his work different from other artists is that he brings out a new side to the event or story and gives the audience a whole new perspective.
His work includes art video's photographs and installations. painting+ complex video installations, acrylic and oil paints with projection screens. He uses super imposition which shows the phenomenal extent to his grasp on multiple media. Another crucial dimension in understanding his work is kaleka's video paintings along with parallel running paintings and video clips.
why i really like his work is because his work show's the progress and process of interaction rather than finality of an artistic production.
In 2007 i was a part of one of his video installations called 'Consider' which is about the holocaust period, i played the the role of young girl with braids.

studying and understanding Installations artists has been great for the simple reason that i didn't know that there were so many different kinds of installations that are there. it's gotten me exposed to so may different artworks.
the reason why did not choose individual installations is because all the work is so fascinating and amazing that it's so hard to pick one and i feel looking at one art installation would be limiting myself. Also i feel that to understand an artist's work one installation isn't enough, so tried to cover as much as i could and try and get bring out the things in the class that make me like the artist.

2nd Artist
Bharti Kher-
Contemporary feminist London based installation artist, her work is radically heterogeneous, a few things about her work make her unique.
understanding Bhati Kher:
- the use of bindi;s had provided her own aesthetic language. The bindis are sperm shaped.
- Large scale work.
- she shows inclination in her work towards animal subjects.
- Explores radical and different ideas through clichés such as sarees and bangles. the saree installation, she showed domestic life n dullness that look bright n beautiful on the outside.
works i really liked were- The elephant, Line though space and time and reveal the secrets that you want to see.
3rd artist:
Anish kapoor- London based, one of the most famous installation artist. Anish known for his experiential large scale installations, (large audience based work) his work is known as the urban monuments as they are extremely massive.
when one says Anish kapoor four things automatically come to my head that are; colour-shape-scale-texture.
the use of texture, colour pigment has remained constant in his work. His work directly involves masses, and makes the audience participate. the installations are interactive, the public responds the to installation. His installations interact with people and transform spaces for example, the cloud gate one can walk under it and experience it. It builds a inclusive relationship of audience and piece of art work.
