Paper Summary:

This paper examines art that is produced for a specific site, thereby taking advantage of the unique qualities of that site. The paper provides various examples of works of site-specific art, such as, from the internet, video arena, land, interior, and other genres. The writer also discusses the issue of preserving this type of art.

From the Paper:

"Site-specific art must therefore be commodified, due to the significance of its location. Commodification is the process in which a work of art is bought and sold as a commodity. Some artists believe that calling a work of art a commodity, or a unit of trade, is demeaning and reduces its artistic, aesthetic qualities. Site-specific art still retains these qualities, however, such as expression of the artist's feelings."
