Installation Artists

It was great to meet you all last week! Here are some links to see more of Andy Goldsworthy's work: http://www.goldsworthy.cc.gla.ac.uk/, search google images for Andy Goldsworthy, or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TWBSMc47bw for a little more video of him working.

Also, have a look at http://greenmuseum.org/archive_index.php which has many artists listed that create outdoor site specific installations.

If you'd like to read up on installation art in general here's a pretty in-depth article: http://www.tate.org.uk/tateetc/issue3/butisitinstallationart.htm, and a classic sculptor's installation exhibit by British sculptor Rachel Whiteread: http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/whiteread/default.shtm

Has anyone found any other images of installations to pass on?

Welcome!

Welcome to the Artist Apprenticeship Project everyone! This blog is our spot for communicating with one another, sharing ideas and thoughts on the project, and keeping in touch between project days. Gallery staff will be posting reminders, links, images and things to think about. We would like each of you to check here at least weekly and post your own links and developing thoughts about the project. This blog is for all of us, and it's not currently accessible to others outside our project, although we may decide to open it up as the project proceeds.

We're very excited to have you all involved!
