Alaska, the largest state of the USA, will definitely impress the traveller
with spectacular landscapes and a unique climate. But if you met the
inhabitants, you would realise that Alaska offers more than just pretty
views. It also gives visitors a fascinating opportunity to meet wonderful
people and a culture very different from their own.
One of the many peoples of Alaska are the Inupiat, who live in the
north and north-western areas of the state. Most Inupiat people live
in small villages that have been around for hundreds of years. Others
Barrow, temperatures can drop to -49oC in winter! Also, because North Alaska is very close to the North Pole, it is
completely dark for more than two months in winter, and between May and August, there is constant daylight.
The Inupiat are peaceful people with a lot of respect for the environment and their traditions. Inupiat villagers rely
on hunting and salmon fishing for their survival. Their prey is normally caribou*, fish, especially salmon*, and
whales.* While the men go hunting or fishing, the women either work or stay at home and make warm clothes
for their family. Sharing is very important for the Inupiat and when the men catch a whale, each member of the
community will be given some.
Alaska is a special place, and it makes visitors wish they could go back. Some say it’s the land of diversity. One thing
is for sure: you’ve never seen anything like it.

A. Discuss.
• Do you like art?
• What do you think of modern art?
• Do you think that some modern art is not art at all?
B. Look at the pictures. What is installation art? Read and check your answers.
INSTALLATION ART
Installation art is a kind of art that uses the area it’s in to help people enjoy
it. It isn’t just about making paintings or sculpture; installation art includes
exhibits with sound, performances, video and even the Internet. The people
who experience the art often have to use different senses at once, not
only sight, but also hearing, smell and touch. You can find installation art in
museums and in public places, like parks and shopping centres where many
people will see it. Most art installations are temporary and stay at the site
only for a few weeks or months. The main point of installation art is not just
for people to look at it, but also to experience it and feel like they are a part
of the art, too.
1 These days there are many artists who make installation art.
Carsten Höller displayed his Test Site in the main hall of the Tate
Modern in London from October 2006 to April 2007. Test Site was
an installation of five large metal slides that people could slide
down for free.
2 Also in 2003 at the Tate Modern, artist Olafur Eliasson installed a
glowing sun in the room and a huge mirror on the ceiling. The room
was also filled with a mist made of sugar and water. The installation
was called The Weather Project and many visitors enjoyed lying on
the floor and looking up at their shadows on the ceiling.
3 One of the most innovative artists in the field of light sculpture is
Dante Leonelli. His first major exhibition of kinetic light art took place
at the Hayward Gallery in 1970 and since then he and his group,
the Continuum, have presented some famous works of installation
art such as those at the Millenium Dome and at Notting Hill Gate
in London. If you pass by these sites you will be able to see some
huge rings of light, consisting mainly of LEDs, that are programmed
to change colour and intensity according to the changes in ozone
levels, air pollution or even in meteorological conditions. These
solar-powered rings are supported by almost invisible stainless steel
wires and their aim is to increase our ecological and environmental
awareness.

C. Read the text again write T for True or F for False.

5. Visitors didn’t have to pay to use the slides.

climate changes.

Alaska, the largest state of the USA, will definitely impress the traveller
with spectacular landscapes and a unique climate. But if you met the
inhabitants, you would realise that Alaska offers more than just pretty
views. It also gives visitors a fascinating opportunity to meet wonderful
people and a culture very different from their own.
One of the many peoples of Alaska are the Inupiat, who live in the
north and north-western areas of the state. Most Inupiat people live
in small villages that have been around for hundreds of years. Others
Barrow, temperatures can drop to -49oC in winter! Also, because North Alaska is very close to the North Pole, it is
completely dark for more than two months in winter, and between May and August, there is constant daylight.
The Inupiat are peaceful people with a lot of respect for the environment and their traditions. Inupiat villagers rely
on hunting and salmon fishing for their survival. Their prey is normally caribou*, fish, especially salmon*, and
whales.* While the men go hunting or fishing, the women either work or stay at home and make warm clothes
for their family. Sharing is very important for the Inupiat and when the men catch a whale, each member of the
community will be given some.
Alaska is a special place, and it makes visitors wish they could go back. Some say it’s the land of diversity. One thing
is for sure: you’ve never seen anything like it.

INSTALLATION ART
Installation art is a kind of art that uses the area it’s in to help people enjoy
it. It isn’t just about making paintings or sculpture; installation art includes
exhibits with sound, performances, video and even the Internet. The people
who experience the art often have to use different senses at once, not
only sight, but also hearing, smell and touch. You can find installation art in
museums and in public places, like parks and shopping centres where many
people will see it. Most art installations are temporary and stay at the site
only for a few weeks or months. The main point of installation art is not just
for people to look at it, but also to experience it and feel like they are a part
of the art, too.
1 These days there are many artists who make installation art.
Carsten Höller displayed his Test Site in the main hall of the Tate
Modern in London from October 2006 to April 2007. Test Site was
an installation of five large metal slides that people could slide
down for free.
2 Also in 2003 at the Tate Modern, artist Olafur Eliasson installed a
glowing sun in the room and a huge mirror on the ceiling. The room
was also filled with a mist made of sugar and water. The installation
was called The Weather Project and many visitors enjoyed lying on
the floor and looking up at their shadows on the ceiling.
3 One of the most innovative artists in the field of light sculpture is
Dante Leonelli. His first major exhibition of kinetic light art took place
at the Hayward Gallery in 1970 and since then he and his group,
the Continuum, have presented some famous works of installation
art such as those at the Millenium Dome and at Notting Hill Gate
in London. If you pass by these sites you will be able to see some
huge rings of light, consisting mainly of LEDs, that are programmed
to change colour and intensity according to the changes in ozone
levels, air pollution or even in meteorological conditions. These
solar-powered rings are supported by almost invisible stainless steel
wires and their aim is to increase our ecological and environmental
awareness.
