Faye Ran's book, 'A History of Installation Art and the Development of New Art Forms', speaks to the essential physical reality of our existence (...). When we tire of web pages, a street with a cafe, a store, or a museum can be an oasis. This book and its insights into Installation art can tell us how to make the most of it. (Paul Levinson, Ph.D., Communication and Media Studies, Fordham University, New York) By synthesizing disparate and often difficult strands of theory and evidence in an accessible manner, this book is bound to become a key text in the field for scholars and researchers alike. It offers a clear historical overview of artistic developments and particularly recent trends towards Installation art that are often made unnecessarily obscure and fragmented by the competing claims of critics.
