Instalation art - Richard Wilson, by Coach on May 14, 2009 23:50:37 GMT 1, I have not seen much mention of instalation art on this forum. I wondered what peoples views are.
A couple of years ago I went to check out Gormley's cloud, which I must say I thoroughly enjoyed. The rest of the work on show was pretty spectacular too, especially the figures that you could see from the roof, on all the other roof tops on the horizon.
But for me the most spectacular instalation art I have seen is that of Richard Wilson. Several years ago I went to the Saatchi and saw his 20:50 piece. It was a room (apologies - I know many of you will know this already, but some may not) filled with black oil, up to your waist, but you could walk in via a walkway, so that you were surrounded. The walls had mirrors, and the oil was reflective too. When at the end of the walkway, you became disorientated, but the effect was immense.
He also did a piece (which I did not see, but have read about)where he was given a room to exhibit in, but left it empty, but had little machines on the outside walls making blind man's canes tap on the walls.
If interested it's worth checking out info re One Piece at a Time, the work he did at the Tyne Bridge in Gateshead.
Apologies for the ramblings, but Richard Wilson is a contemporary artist worth a mention.
Cheers

If Abortion Table is the one i seem to remember it being then it is a very disturbing work.

Its called the illegal operation Wiz and was one of Kienholz's earliest tableaux and also one of his most vehement and horrific
its consists of a shopping trolley who's front wheels are positioned pigeon toed in anticipation of the onslaught of unbearable anguish whilst the operating lamp is clamped white knuckled to the shopping trolley itself having a sleazy feel, and an aura of death about it. Being a statement of violation of both the doctor and society where the viewer is made complicit with the act. Not for some

Instalation art - Richard Wilson, by Coach on May 17, 2009 0:33:50 GMT 1, Have had a bit of a gander on the internet at c couple ofthe artists mention.
Reall like the work by Kienholz. Thanks for pointing me in that direction.
I also remember years ago attending an exhibition where I went inside a room made of ice, anyone remember that, and who the artist might have been.
Cheers

Yeah, that is superb. Huge amount of engineering skills must have gone into that, after the artistic brilliance had done it's bit.
As can be seen from looking at it from the other side of the wall:

Thats the one Wiz, but the photo doesn't do the piece justice.
In the flesh its quite a disturbing and haunting piece with more than a hint of uncomfortableness about it. Why you would want this in one of your front rooms is beyond me
see Cadillac court IMO a masterpiece

Instalation art - Richard Wilson, by jimbob68 on May 17, 2009 15:29:18 GMT 1, it may sound strange but I think of Kienholz as painters and not installation artists. they just painted with objects and not paints. Always beautiful and so much of it reminds me of the old eastern european puppet animations. just in their spirit

I remember the oil piece at the Saatchi gallery down at St Johns Wood never really understood it and it did very little for me Another piece of Richard Wilson's work SLICE of REALITY consists of a ship that has been sliced through to form an exposed section although at first glance looks all very impressive again i did not see either piece as having any of the qualities i would constitute as Art, To me they were both more like engineering projects that both bordered on the so what.

i agree with you. Sometimes wondered if the two of them weren't psychopathic window dressers

Sorry
Each to their own I guess. I was moved by the oil piece. At the end of the corridor, alone, I felt disorientated. I liked the way the reflections from the mirrors and the oil seemed to go on for ever. The smell of the oil added to the experience. Simple things like the glass like stillness of the oil pleased me, and then being able to gently blow on it to cause ripples, and the effect that had on the reflections. I found the room quite emotional. This I know sounds like the art critique of a 10 year old, but that's a little how it made me feel.
Coincidently, Richard Wilson was interviewed last night on Big Art on Ch4 (I think). Interesting chap.

Forgot about the smell of the oil
The only artist to appear at the Saatchi gallery that ever impressed me was Dwayne Hanson, did the Tourists and the Cleaner in the photo realism style of sculpture
