Answer to Question 1

Installation art uses a determined space for a work of art that can be experienced for a limited time. Walker's A Subtlety depended on the large space of the Domino Sugar Refinery in Brooklyn, New York to accommodate the scale of her work. Similarly, performance art depends on time, occurring in real time. Bueys's work depended on an audience being present at a particular time to experience his message and ritualistic actions.

Answer to Question 2

The Arnolfini Double Portrait is an example of Christian iconography through symbolic details. Specific objects in the work represent concepts. For example, the single candle represents a holy presence; the dog, marriage, fidelity, and love; and shoes, a sign of a sacred ground.
