The artist Richard Serra described his sculpture Tilted Arc as being a “site-specific work and as such not to be relocated. To remove the work is to destroy the work.” Site-specific artwork is one of the most interesting forms of art, because the artist doesn’t just arbitrarily create their work, but takes into account the environment, history and importance of the space. These works only create their desired effect when they’re in the space intended for them, and they cannot be shown in their true form anywhere else. Many artists and groups have discussed the connections between art and physical sites, but what about art and sites that may be a little more flexible in terms of their location? As a media organization, The College Voice is a site, but how can ideas and content be pinned down, and further, how can a newspaper be represented through sound?
