Site-specific art views location not as a backdrop, but as an integral part of the artistic statement. The historical and functional context of a space influences the form and meaning of a work.
The first chapter is dedicated to the term «site-specific,» presenting international examples and examining the late Soviet art scene. The following three chapters explore current St. Petersburg projects: Yasumasa Morimura’s «Hermitage. 1941–2014,» Pyotr Bely’s and Alexander Terebenin’s «Signal 2014,» and Erik van Liskhout’s «The Basement.»
