Installation Art

Over the course of a couple classes, we viewed different types of Installation Art. One of the big Installations that seemed extremely large was the Sunflower Seeds piece by Ai WeiWei. He and other people painted thousands of ceramic sunflower seeds to place in this space. The nice thing that WeiWei was that he employed people of the area he worked in.



We also viewed the piece Pharmacy by Damien Hirst. The part that "bothered" me about this piece is that I could walk into any pharmacy in my town and see something similar, so why is considered art? Why isn't any other pharmacy considered a piece of art?
