Unlike traditional art works, installation art has no autonomous
existence. It is usually created at the
exhibition site, and its essence is spectator participation. Installation art originated
as a radical art
form presented only at alternative art spaces; its assimilation into mainstream museums
and galleries
is a relatively recent phenomenon. The move of installation art from the margin to the
center of the
art world has had far-reaching effects on the works created and on museum practice.
