Preoblikovanje prostora s tekstilom

Kmet, Katarina Marija (author), Burger Kovič, Katja (mentor)

Instalacijska umetnost je intervencija v prostor, kjer umetnik vzpostavi odnos med prostorom, umetniškim delom in gledalcem. Dela instalacijske umetnosti so običajno velikih meril, notranja ali zunanja in postavljena le za določen čas. Umetnik se v instalacijskih delih izraža z uporabo različnih materialov in tehnik izdelave tako, da najbolje prikaže svoje mišljenje ali koncept umetniškega dela. Instalacijska umetnost se je začela v šestdesetih letih, z vprašanjem o odnosu med prostorom in umetniškim objektom. Danes pa se umetniki izražajo z instalacijsko umetnostjo, ker jim ponuja možnost vzpostavljanja odnosa z gledalcem. Pri tekstilnih instalacijah je kot glavni medij uporabljen tekstil, tekstilni izdelki ali vlakna, ali pa je delo narejeno v tehniki običajno asociirani s tekstilom, kot sta tkanje in pletenje. Tekstil zaradi svojih fizikalnih lastnosti dopušča različne načine manipulacije in daje umetniku proste roke pri umetniškem izražanju. Med tekstilom in prostorom se vzpostavi poseben odnos, ki je lahko polen kontrastov. Velik pomen pri tekstilnih instalacijah ima koncept ali zgodba, mišljenje, ki ga avtor dela želi sporočiti gledalcem. Gledalec lahko ta koncept umetnika sprejme ali zavrne. Pri nekaterih umetniških delih je koncept zasnovan tako, da spodbudi drugačna razmišljanja in sproži vprašanja na določeno temo. Pomembno vlogo pri tekstilnih instalacijah ima svetloba, saj nam tekstil ponuja ogromno možnosti svetlobne manipulacije in igranje s sencami različnih oblik in intenzivnosti. V procesu raziskave so, zaradi svojih inovativnih načinov izdelave in uporabe tekstilnega medija, name naredili največji vtis japonska umetnica Chiharu Shiota, mehiški umetnih Gabriel Dawe, ameriška umetnica Pae White in britanska umetnica Susie MacMurray. Koncept moje prostorske instalacije je življenjska pot in okoliščine, ki človeka v življenju spremljajo in usmerjajo. Dolga bela cev se vije po prostoru, rdeče niti pa jo opletajo in se med seboj prepletajo.

Abstract

Installation art is an intervention in space where the artist establishes a relationship between space, artwork and spectator. Works of installation art are usually large scale, outside or inside, and set only for a certain period of time. In the installation works, the artist expresses himself by using various materials and techniques in order to best represent his opinion or concept of the artistic work. Installation art began in the sixties, when artists began to question the relationship between space and art piece. Today, artists express themselves with installation art because it offers them the opportunity to establish a relationship with the viewer. In textile installations the primary artistic medium is textile, textile products or fibers. It can also be made in deferent materials in technique usually associated with textile, like weaving and knitting. Due to its physical characteristics, textile allows for various manipulation methods and gives the artist more freedom in artistic expression. There is a special relationship between textile and space, which can be full of contrasts. A concept or story, an opinion that the author wants to communicate to spectators is of great importance in textile installations. The spectator then accepts or rejects the artist's concept. In some works of art, the concept is designed to trigger different ways of thinking and raise questions on specific subjects. Light plays a significant role in textile installations since textile offers many possibilities of light manipulation and playing with shadows of different shapes and intensities. In the process of research, due to their innovative methods of making and using textile media, impressed me the most Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota, Mexican artist Gabriel Dawe, American artist Pae White and British artist Susie MacMurray. The concept of my spatial installation is the path of life and the circumstances that accompany and guide people in their lives. A long white tube winds around the room where red threads intertwine with it and with each other.
