Site specific art is designed for a specific location, if removed from that location it loses all or a substantial part of its meaning and value. The term site specific is often used in relation to installation art, as in a site specific installation; theatre as in site specific theatre; and dance as in site specific dance.
I am for an art that takes into account the direct effect of the elements as they exist from day to day apart from representation.
Visiting a museum is a matter of going from void to void. Hallways lead the viewer to things once called ‘pictures’ and ‘statues.” Anachronisms hang and protrude from every angle. Themes without meaning press on the eye. Multifarious nothings permute into false windows (frames) that open up into a variety of blanks. Stale images cancel one’s perception and deviate one’s motivation. Blind and senseless, one continues wandering around the remains of Europe, only to end in that massive deception ‘the art history of the recent past’
