Foreword Sculpture in its many forms has dominated the terrain of international art in the late 1980s, just as figurative painting marked the earlier part of the decade. If the sculptural object has often taken center stage in the marketplace, the periphery has continued to embrace such modes of expression as the environmental/sculptural statement. As one measure of the times, the last several Biennials at the Whitney Museum of American Art have reflected a notable increase in site-specific installations as part of the American scene. As many contemporary sculptors have rejected high-tech materials and processes, they have returned to more sensuous materials and a handmade quality to art. Installations as an artform have often led to experimentation with a vast range of materials new to art galleries and museums. With two decades of installation works in Chicago as background, we can now begin to record a history of the genre and to assess its continuing creative and critical impulses as we approach the 1990s. Arriving at a definition of installation art and avoiding the usual jargon is still difficult at best. Installations occur when the safe and often esoteric confines of the traditional gallery or museum space are manipulated by the artist into a controlled viewing experience. They require the observer to disregard the predictable approach to the art object, and to engage in a response formulated by the situation presented. Generally speaking, installations are best defined through interaction, bringing the artist and the viewer "face to face" in an encounter of thought and feeling. Present at the Creation grew out of the desire to showcase Chicago-based artists whose works do not fit the traditional format of institutional or commercial exhibitions. The title is a double entendre suggesting both the presence of the artist in the creative act, and the role of the public in its subsequent encounter with the creative process. It is loosely derived from a quote by Alphonsos X, King of Castile and Leone, a notable 13th century poet and intellectual. The emphasis here is given to five artists as inventors of experience, not on a shared motive or a particular aesthetic theme. Their range of artistic concerns reveals the primary strengths of the artform of installations: its emphasis on content through form?inviting the viewer into an orchestrated environment in order to respond to ideas and sensations. 45 pages.
