The First Article was about "What is Installation Art". "What is Installation Art" is the fifth in a series of talks and booklets which aim to provide a general introduction to key concepts and themes in Contemporary Art.

It emerged during a period of social, political, and cultural upheaval in the 1960s. Conceptual Art is hugely influential, considered by some to be the turning point from Modern to Contemporary Art practice. Conceptual Art is not about forms or materials, but about ideas and meanings. The term conceptual art has become one of the most used terms for works such as, broad spectrum of experimental artworks and practices that develope from the 1960s onward.
