Summary/Abstract: In the gallery spaces, the only artifacts to be exhibited, except the wall paintings, were sculptures that usually took place somewhere on the floor, or on a small pedestal. After the first installation of the French Dadaist Marcel Duchamp in 1917, the galleries were permanently changed, and since the 1970s, installations overcomes sculptures, although they could be seen as recycled “sculptures”. Unlike the art of sculpture, which imposes the spectator’s focus on carving or form, installation art is conceptual and suggestive art that requires focus on ideas, or on concepts. When we talk about it, rather than the engagement of the artist, we can speak of the engagement of the spectator, who is invited, often challenged, to give the work some meaning, seeing the functionality of the material exposed.
