Site-specific art is like creating a special toy that can only be played with in a certain room of your house.
Artists make art that is specifically designed to be in one particular place, like a park, a museum, or even on a street. They think about things like the space, the surroundings, and what the art will mean for people who see it there.
It's kind of like a puzzle, where the art has to fit perfectly in the place where it's going to be shown. Just like how some toys are too big or too small for certain rooms, some art just wouldn't make sense in certain spaces.
And just like how you might feel different playing with a toy in your bedroom than you would in the living room, art in one location can have a different feeling or message than if it were somewhere else.
So when you see site-specific art, it's like seeing a special toy in a special room – it's just meant to be there, and it makes sense in a way that it wouldn't anywhere else.
