	gaynor gallagher
		For contemporary art the definition of Installation Art is given, as 'a site specific artwork' by Atkins (1990), and as 'temporary site specific artworks designed to surround or interact with the spectator and/or extant architecture in a given exhibition space', by Gonzalez, J in Kelle's Encyclopaedia Of Aesthetics (1998).
		James Meyer (2000) clarifies that the early notion of site specific was an actual location that conformed to the physical constraints of that location and the artist's intervention conforms to the place, whether it be earthworks as in land art, or institutional critique.
		Land art or earth art (later to be called site-specific art) was intended to place the viewer at its centre.

	East Side Monthly Cover Story
		Since then, however, the definition of site-specific art has become looser and today is often thrown around to describe many piece of installation art that are somehow linked to the site in which they exist.
		When this art movement, an anti-institutional, anti-commodification impulse, emerged from minimalist art in the 1960s, the site of a given work of art became an integral part of the work itself: removing it from its physical space would cause it to cease to exist as that work.
		If we are to understand site specificity through a broader definition as proposed by Kwon to include not only the physical space but also discursive sites, then these three works, although completely different, can in fact be seen as more specific than a work such as Tilted Arc.

		Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, as site-specific art intersected with land art, process art, performance art, conceptual art, installation art, institutional critique, community-based art, and public art, its creators insisted on the inseparability of the work and its context.
		It examines site specificity as a complex cipher of the unstable relationship between location and identity in the era of late capitalism.

	Art Business News: Site-specific art sets mood in many locales: installations blend art and environs. The result: aesthetic surprises indoors and out

		Beginning in the mid-1960s, many artists abandoned gallery walls and looked to the earth as they pursued site specific art.

	Leonardo Digital Reviews
		Kwon argues that as artists seek out methods of art making that do not focus on the object, but rather the process, many artists who work on site-specific projects are engaging with social and political issues, rather than a physical place.
		While recent site-specific art is certainly a long way from early "plunk" art, as Kwon and many others have observed, it still has a long way to go.
		As Kwon moves into a discussion of the problems surrounding site-specific art that involves the community (this has been termed "new genre public art" by critic Suzanne Lacy), she uses "Culture in Action: New Public Art in Chicago" as her target.
