Art that changes your experience of place
Site-specific art – as its name suggests – is intrinsically intertwined with place. Informed by a pre-existing landscape or built into one, art and place alter each other. We delve into the practice and talk to the artists who create it.
Site-Specific Art: Emma Coulter
Emma Coulter’s site-specific work has a direct link with her background in painting and interior architecture. Blending the two lets her explore the ideas that overlap between them, de-constructing and re-constructing a space to using a refined palette to create something new.
SITE-SPECIFIC ART: Klara
Klara is a Melbourne-based street and studio artist, combining painting, illustration, paste-ups, stencil, installation and more. For Klara, the more she delves into her practise, the more site-specific it becomes. We find out why.
SITE-SPECIFIC ART: Suki
For Suki, site-specific art can work both ways; sometimes the site comes first and other times it’s the idea. Here is her take on art that alters our experience of place.
SITE-SPECIFIC ART: KORBAN/FLAUBERT
This Sydney-based duo works across design and sculpture, producing furniture, sculpture, screens and installations. Often working within an architectural project, their work demonstrates the way site-specific art is becoming more integrated into the natural landscape as well as man-made structures. We hear from Stefanie Flaubert as to how these various spaces differ and what makes them so intriguing.
