KAZoART is here to introduce you to 5 ephemeral art styles, through 5 different artistic practices: Land art, Street art, Performance art, Auto-destructive art, and last but not least, Installation art.
Their documentations and testimonials therefore allow for the preservation of the art installation within the collective memory, to be passed down from generation to generation. Indeed, the audience becomes a major factor for the work’s success thanks to each person’s individual reaction and testimony.
The viewer also plays a key role in conserving the memory of said ephemeral works of art. Documenting such events with photography & videos make it possible to preserve the image of the work, during and after its its exhibition. It is therefore essential for any artist who wishes to preserve any trace of his ephemeral artwork, to use another medium to help them do it. This is the will of the artist, who anticipates the disappearance of their own creation: a real paradox within the art world! This idea of “ephemeral” art therefore refers to a work which, by definition, is doomed to disappear, to be destroyed, to deteriorate or to decompose over time. Indeed, until then, the concept of sustainability was inseparable from the work of art itself, seeing as one wished to preserve the work of art the best they could, in order for it to stand the test of time. The “ ephemeral” nature of a work of art is a notion that appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. This artistic practice challenges the temporality, the destruction and the impermanent nature of art! Today, KAZoART is doing a deep dive into this completely novel art form, which appeared in the West at the turn of the 20th century, by taking you through our Top 5 essential ephemeral art styles! What is Ephemeral Art? Are some works of art just destined to disappear, decompose, or self-destruct? That’s exactly the case when talking about Ephemeral Art.
