Interactive art

Julian Beever is an artist who specialises in 3D chalk drawings on pavements. His works of art engage the viewer due to the way that they are almost confusing, the high quality of each image and also the way that people will pose and join in with the images adds to the initial confusion about them. The chalk drawings are high quality, with a high amount of detail. Below is an example of his work.

Turbine Hall is an artist who builds sculptures that are, in thier own way, quite peculiar and surreal. One of his latest pieces of work to go on display is the sunflower seed installation in the Tate Modern, Hall wanted the public to interact with his piece - to walk on the seeds and be a part of the work - however due to health and safety his piece had to be corded off. He also has done other work such as the crack, a large crack in the floor of the gallery. Below are pictures of the Sunflower seeds and the crack.

Banksy is a British artist who is famous for his street art and graffiti, which in most cases increases the price of the property. He has done a series of exhibitions, one being 'The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill' in New York. In this exhibition Banksy took over a store in New York and over a series of weeks turned it into a pet store, which attracted attention before it had opened due to the art works which had initially been mistaken for actual animals -such as the leopard coat that was initially mistaken for an actual leapord and also the model of a monkey watching tv. To add to the effect of this he also had the smells of a pet shop within the exhibition to add to the feel of an actual petshop adding to the interaction as well as the mix of outrage and shock over the project. Below is some of the shlots from this exhibition.
