Site Specific

“Site Specific: Artwork created, designed, or selected for a specific indoor or outdoor site. It may take shape as publicly displayed monumental sculpture commissioned by either city arts agencies or private corporations, or as earth art, often located away from urban centers. Beverly Pepper’s Fallen Sky, located in Barcelona, merges park with sculpture. This undulating earthen mound covered in multi-colored tiles is a recent tribute to Gaudi and the city’s art nouveau heritage. See also INSTALLATION, PUBLIC ART.”
