Site-specific art is Artwork created to exist in a certain place. Typically, the artist takes the location into account while planning and creating the artwork. Outdoor site-specific artworks often include Landscaping combined with permanently sited Sculptural elements (the movement is linked with Environmental art). Outdoor site-specific artworks also include dance performances created especially for the site; the choreographer uses the site as inspiration for costumes and movement repertoire. Some artists make a point of commissioning music created by a local composer especially for the dance site. Indoor site-specific artworks may be created in conjunction with (or indeed by) the Architect s of the building. More broadly, the term is sometimes used for any work that is (more or less) permanently attached to a particular location. In this sense, a building with interesting Architecture could be considered a piece of site-specific art. Artists producing site-specific works include Robert Smithson , Andy Goldsworthy , Christo , Richard Serra , Guillaume Bijl , Christian Bernard Singer , Betty Beaumont and younger artists like Mark Divo , John K. Melvin , Luna Nera , Sarah Sze , Seth Wulsin , and Simparch . MUSEUMS/ORGANIZATIONS/VENUES
