Summary

In this bonus episode of The Installation Art Podcast, host Anastasia Parmson delves into the question: “What is installation art?” through a personal lens. We explore the historical roots and evolution of the medium, significant artists and works, and discuss foundational concepts, such as site-specificity, scale and accumulation, and how those differentiate installation from other contemporary art mediums. We take a look at notable artists and their historic contributions, as well as some of the guests previously featured on the show.
