    Minimal Art Is Sometimes Said to Have Initiated a Turn Towards Installation Practices. Discuss What Defines Installation Art, and How Minimalism Contributed to Its Emergence.

Because of this, Minimalism was able to draw attention to the space in which the work is shown; this emphasized the direct engagement with the space and environment as a work in itself.

  • Rene Descartes

    Rene Descartes

    While Rene Descartes' method of finding truth was innovative and scientific, his proofs for the existence of God were ultimately very weak.
