Installation Art Art that is or has been installed — arranged in a place —
either by the artist or as specified by the artist. It might be either sitespecific or not, and either indoors or out. The term became widely used in
the 1970s and 1980s, and continues to be employed by many people.
Installations may be temporary or permanent, but most will be known to
posterity through documentation. As a consequence, one aspect of
installations is often the difficulty with which they can be commodified.

“dread” scott tyler
There are many questions you have raised. For that I thank you. It does hurt me to
see the flag on the ground being stepped on. Yet now after days have passed, I have
realized tat this is the ultimate form of patriotism. Our country is so strong in believing
what it stands for that we would allow you to do this. You have made me really think
about my own patriotism, which has grown stronger.
I am a German girl. If we Germans would admire our flag as you all do, we
would be called Nazis again...I think you do have too much trouble about this
flag.
In Russia you would be shot and your family would have to pay for the bullets. But
once again what do you expect from a nigger named "Dread Scott"?
Dear Dread, Like someone who viewed the exhibit, I began reading other
people's comments standing next to the flag, but gradually moved to standing
on it. As someone raised to be iconoclastic (at least I thought I was) it was an
interesting moment of self-awareness, which (I think) is the whole purpose of
the display. Perhaps when human life and liberty is really valued above
property (and symbols) in America we will all have more allegiance to the
principles of "liberty" and "justice" for all. Congratulations on your courage in
getting arrested to test this crazy law.
P.S. Kudos to the gallery for their courage. Why is it OK to "Knowingly maintain
on the ground homeless people but not the flag"???
Right now a lady is on the ground crying because of what you have done. I feel
you did something wrong and I feel you should be put in jail or have something
done to you for this. I love my country and it hurts me to know that don't. I hope
you feel good about yourself for what you are putting people through. You're an
asshole.
This flag I'm standing on stands for everything oppressive in this system--The murder
of the Indians and all the oppresses around the world, including my brother, who was
shot by a pig who kicked over his body to "make sure the nigger was dead." the pig
was wearing the flag. Thank you Dread Scott for this opportunity.
As a veteran defending the flag I personally would never defend your stupid ass!
You should be shot!
--U.S. Navy Seal Team
