If you are looking for art installation ideas for the year 2021. Then you have come to the right place. Here, some of the best work of the previous year has been mentioned. You can take a look at them and feel inspired to create an idea that is unique to the year 2021.

1. DESERT X ALULA

The public exhibition happens to be the first of its kind to held in Saudi Arabia. So, there is still an opportunity to make something that is still unique. It features an interactive installation by 14 artists. So, you can see that there is an option to collaborate with other artists if you feel stuck with your art. It speaks on historical context, environmental conditions, and the surrounding communities of the ancient oasis.

2. MOVING DUNES

Each year the musée des beaux-arts of Montreal (Montreal museum of fine arts; MBAM) for ephemeral installation calls for proposal on the avenue de musée. A Canadian design firm that goes by the name NÓS was the winner last year. They are the people behind moving dunes. You can learn a lot from it and gain art ideas for your own.

3. ETHEREA

This one is created by Edoardo Tresoldi. You can learn a lot from this artist. The installation is made with wire mesh originally conceived for Coachella. Wire mesh is really in this year as well. So, look for art inspiration that you can do with wire mesh. It has taken its inspiration from neoclassical architecture and baroque. Go through neoclassical design to get an idea to pop up in your head.

4. L’ARC MAJEUR

This one is created by Bernar Venet. It can be seen along the highway in Belgium. If you are stuck with where you put your piece, then you can try the highway. He is not known for exhibiting art as a challenge to technology. If you are stuck with your artwork and do not know which way to go, then try his method.

5. BOSPOLDER FOX

This one is so easy and lovable; you might be thinking why you didn’t come up with it. Well, now you can. You can recreate Florentijn Hofman’s art installation with another animal. You can even go for the internet’s favorite dog or cat.

Reflecting pain in your work is quite easy. As no one else is sharing your pain and suffering, the artwork will be unique and fresh.

7. OUR GLACIAL PERSPECTIVES

This one is created by Olafur Eliasson. If you are in need of art installation ideas for the year 2021, then you can turn to this artist for inspiration. It happens to be permanent public artwork. There are two types of installations one is temporary and another one is permanent. So, before you think of an idea consider you want to make a temporary or a permanent artwork installation.

8. VÅRBERG GIANTS

This art was done by Xavier Veilhan and his longtime collaborator who happens to be a Scenographer as well, Alexis Bertrand. Here again, you can see the importance of having a collaborator or two. Even though you might have an idea in mind but cannot turn it into a reality because of imperfect execution. This is where the help of a collaborator will come in handy.

9. FRENCH EXIT

In this artwork, you will see that dried grass has been suspended from the ceiling. The entire ceiling is covered by it. If the dried grass wouldn’t have been there, then the room would be empty. This one can be considered for art installation ideas for 2021.

Who: Mariana Guber-Gogova

Established: 2017

New project of the Gogova Foundation from the founder of Artwin Gallery, Mariana Guber-Gogova. A strong expert council, which includes Mariana Guber-Gogova herself, art critic Olga Nefedova, as well as well-proven representatives of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art and MMOMA Ekaterina Inozemtseva and Alexey Novoselov, Jarette Gregory, Simon Mraz and Suad Garayeva, which immediately gives the residence an international status and serious weight.

The professionalism of the expert council allows you to trust its choice and pay serious attention to the participants in the residences. At the moment, having made two successful exhibitions in Baku, the residence is moving to Karachay-Cherkessia, so one can count on non-standard artistic solutions, such as, for example, last year’s Observatory project, made jointly with the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Estonian Academy of Sciences.

“The foundation’s focus on the development and support of young art is connected with my interest as a gallery owner in this category of artists.”

It is more risky and exciting to promote an emerging or mid-career artist with an impressive track record but still in the process of developing an artistic career. I think we are lucky: there is an unusually strong generation of young artists in Russia who, with proper management and support, are able to compete with international colleagues.

Of course, inexperience, ignorance of the “rules of the game” have their drawbacks, and if we talk about the art market, then this is a so-called venture investment with the likelihood of takeoff and at the same time greater risks. In any case, when you are engaged in young art, you must love it, be open, and then the market will be supportive.

The activities of the foundation in the format of a residence are aimed specifically at the development of individual young artists and their artistic practice, but the more “adult” international project “Observatory”, organized with the participation of the foundation in 2016, is waiting for further development. To participate in the residence, the expert council chooses the best project among artists under 35 from the CIS countries, Central Asia and the Middle East by voting. “

Who: the expert council – Aidan Salakhova, Elena Selina, Alexander Sharov, Dmitry Khankin, Nikolai Palazhchenko, Andrey Parshikov, Alexey Novoselov and Sofya Trotsenko

Established: 2017

The empty space of the legendary Aidan gallery at Winzavod – by the way, fantastic, with huge ceilings and an industrial interior – has turned into an interesting experimental project invented for young artists. The Open Studios at Winzavod brought together the main characters of contemporary art. You can go to the studios (they are, indeed, open) and look at the process of the artists’ work, or maybe buy works before their patrons help to make serious exhibitions and the cost of these works will increase several times.

“The idea to engage in young art came from the number of requests that we received from young artists.”

The chasm between established artists and the possibility of new names appearing very quickly became apparent. Young people practically did not have the opportunity to professionally declare themselves, and we decided to take this task upon ourselves.

This is how the Start project appeared. Subsequently, Winzavod had workshops, and last year we launched a new permanent project, Open Studios – workshops for young artists with an educational program and English. I think the project faces common problems for all art institutions in Russia. Contemporary art is the most progressive area of ​​culture. And the art of young artists is, obviously, the avant-garde and the most experimental area of ​​our activity.

And here you can never predict the result. Selection criteria are always outside the scope of the project presented by the artist. We assess several factors that we consider to be key. This is the artist’s view of the context in which he lives and works, the desire to develop in the profession, the projects that he has implemented, plans and ideas for the future. The participants of the first season of the “Open Studios” were not chosen by me personally, but by an expert council, which includes representatives of the most important art institutions: head of the exhibition department of MMOMA Alexey Novoselov, artist Aidan Salakhova, art critic and founder of XL gallery Elena Selina, art dealer and art critic Nikolay Palazhchenko and others.

The market for young artists in Estonia seems to me to be the most promising, despite its youth and novelty. More and more art schools and opportunities for young talents are emerging in Russia, which means that competition is also growing. With the growth in supply, contemporary art is becoming a little more accessible to those who are interested in it. The circle of people who can afford to become involved in collecting contemporary Estonian art is expanding. “

Author: Sergey Gushchin

Established: 2016

Sergei Gushchin, originally a collector, started very powerfully, opening a chamber and interesting space on the Patriarch’s Ponds, behind the Praktika Theater. He attracted bright young curators, built an exhibition policy as a laboratory and a fascinating creative process that is interesting to watch. Experiments are always a risk, the more respect the activities of Sergei and his team are. The open competition, first for artists, and now for curators, gives the activity an institutionality, provides great opportunities for choice, and participation in serious exhibitions of major artists – faith in success and a great future. As a result of the work, the prizes “Best Cosmoscow Stand” and a grant from Ruinart Art Patronat were received during the year.
