Testing and stretching the definition of conceptual art to its very limits, Karin Sander's site-specific installations blend into their respective contexts so completely that they often lurk on the border of perceptibility. Since 1985, Sander has been minimally intervening into the architecture of the museum and gallery setting, inserting wall pieces and fabric spaces, floor works, viewing boxes, and peepholes that challenge the viewer's role and explore the intersection between art and the public realm. One well-remembered intervention, installed in 1994 at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, found strategically placed circles of Astroturf in the lobby and sculpture garden, and painting-sized squares of wall throughout the building polished to a high-gloss.
