SITE SPECIFIC WORK

1970 site specific art started/Contemporary art started

- Upper class art work because it cost money to vue

- Traditionally is not accessible to younger people, poor people, more used by a white population in England.

- To make work for everyone. Nothing holding the spectator back to vue to the art. Landmark

- Considerate to the viewer and how its gonna be viewed.

- Site specific work. Environment may damage it. Could be temporary. More meaning to it than value.

- Giving suggestions instead of one statements. Telling the viewer what to think or leaving it open

- They way u document it effects what they see
