       Quiz answers are further down below the Jim Lambie floor installation.  Recall in Quiz One we also showed a floor design --- that of an overall Greek key floor mosaic.
                                        

      Notice how the stripes follow or emanate from the columns and walls as well as corners.  On YouTube you can find a video of Lambie and assistants putting down the floor stripe by stripe.  For further perspective, please also see more Lambie works via Google image search.
     Can you detect a rule that would allow you to construct the Lambie floor?   Compare and contrast with the Roman floor (shown again below the quiz answers).  
     Consider the uses, character, environment, physical, and emotional effect.  Also think how each floor physically wears and how looking at it wears on you.  
      Say, could you modernize the Roman mosaic --- by taking away the 3D illusions to make it more 2D?   Change to other colors, brighter colors?  How many colors?  Why?

    Who pays for putting on installation art which must be costly?

Out of Nowhere

                                                                          Introduction          A comet in ancient times appeared to come out of nowhere.  So also does talent or inventiveness -- or even accomplishment where it had not been seen before.  Out of Nowhere was the title of a show of the works of Jeremy Moon presented by the British artist Neil Clements at the Peer Gallery in East London in 2016.          Inspiration in abstract art does not come from observation of a scene.  It comes from the artist's inventiveness, hence in a sense --- out of nowhere.  We modify that by admitting that abstract artists must do much experimenting.  Please see our first painting by Moon.  He is clai...

Installation Art

                                           Introduction                  Installation art takes up more space than freestanding sculpture.  It is generally indoors and is temporary, that is, it will be taken down at some foreseeable time.    We will look at examples and try to decide on a category name for each so as to make some order.                                                    Fantasy          See a large spiral crocheted net of sorts and people joyfully romping upward inside it.  Note the dramatic backlighting to make the colors more mysterious and alluring and produce silhouettes.       ...

Impasto

                                                                 Impasto                                                         Introduction            There was a time when painters didn't want to show brush marks. They applied paint in thin layers, even to the point, near the end, applying thin transparent subtle layers of color called glazes.             Vincent Van Gogh applied paint in the opposite fashion.  One of his self portraits shows him holding a palette in his left hand together with a handful of same size somewhat small brushes.  As you loo...
