Discuss how Kara Walker's A Subtlety and Joseph Bueys's How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare are examples of installation and performance art, addressing the performance nature of the pieces, the importance or unimportance of the space, the visual impact, and your response to this type of art.
What will be an ideal response?
Installation art uses a determined space for a work of art that can be experienced for a limited time. Walker's A Subtlety depended on the large space of the Domino Sugar Refinery in Brooklyn, New York to accommodate the scale of her work. Similarly, performance art depends on time, since it occurs in the present. Bueys's work depended on an audience being present at a particular time to experience his message and ritualistic actions.
