Installation: From Ready-Made To Hand-Made Design

Abstract

The introduction to ready-made art practice leads to a revision of the traditional art model and the trend development of the things-signs manipulation in the design. Understanding the concept of "ready-made" is not possible outside of the cultural context. Given the special kind of organized symbolic space, readymade art becomes the basis of installations. The establishment of a signified object in a certain context leads to the transformation of signifiers, the emergence of connotations and associations. In a postmodern situation, the principle of citing the past is realized in design as the installation of commonplace things, forming an original meaning. Along with high technology and poetic inventions of exquisite things, a handmade design arises, the essence of which is in witty design decisions by manipulating typical consumer goods. Taken in the context of a specific space, hand-made design products act as installations. Installations are created as part of pop design, anti-design, deconstruction and postindustrial areas. Traditionally, design installations are showcases, showrooms, structures in the interior and exterior of the urban environment. The installation has a special function in park areas and places of entertainment -the creation of a fantasy space that can surprise, entertain and give rest to the visitor. Technical ingenuity and intellectual confrontation with the mainstream as a principle of hand-made design and installation view allow designing original things from the banal, beat things-signs in different contexts, provoking new connotations and distant associations.
