Installation art is now firmly in the mainstream of contemporary visual culture. Its popularity has given rise to many new terms and has affected not just art, but also club culture, fashion, film and retail design.
The phenomenon of Installation was first covered in the critically acclaimed Installation Art by the same authors. This new volume surveys the exciting ways in which the form has evolved since then, embracing often unexpected media, and achieving worldwide influence.
The book is impressively illustrated with over 300 illustrations of work by artists as diverse as Doug Aitken, Vanessa Beacroft, Santiago Sierra and Mariko Mori. Installation`s constant evolution, refusal to accept boundaries and creation of new dynamics between the artist, spectator and museum spaces, have given rise to astonishing and often challenging results.

With a foreword by Jonathan Crary, Professor of Art History at Columbia University, the book is completed by further details on the works, biographical notes, a bibliography and an index.
