C-PrintA C-type print, also known as a chromogenic print, is a photographic print made from a color negative or slide. The print is created on chromogenic paper, which contains three emulsion layers, each sensitized to a different primary color. After exposure, the paper is processed in a series of chemical baths, where each layer reacts to the chemicals to produce the final image. C-type prints are known for their rich color depth and are widely used in fine art and commercial photography.

The meaning of an artwork is changing depending on who's looking at it - depending on what culture, depending on what time, and so forth. It's alive.
- Sarah Morris
Sarah Morris has exhibited internationally since the 1990s. She creates both films and paintings and views the two media as interconnected. Sarah Morris's films focus on particular cities or individuals, as well as places from the viewpoint of an individual. The British artist creates abstract paintings that investigate what she describes as "urban, social, and bureaucratic typologies." Sarah Morris’s works are based on the observation of architectural details with careful consideration to the dynamics of a city. Her graphic paintings are dramatic and executed with high-gloss paint. In her film work, she uses different types of cinematography, as a way of examining it from the inside out. Morris' most recent work is about Rio de Janeiro and depicting its complex layers. She expands on her abstract compositions to Rio's beaches, hospitals, fruit stands, and even football stadiums. Living and working in both New York and London, Morris has participated in many exhibitions including The Wexner Center for the Arts (2012) and Kunsthalle (2013). (Artist website)
Site-Specific Art is a form of artwork created to exist in a particular location, with the artist considering the site as an integral part of the creative process. Robert Irwin was a key figure in promoting this art form in California. Site-Specific Art emerged as a reaction against modernist objects, which were often portable, commodified, and confined to museum spaces. In contrast, Site-Specific Art is inherently tied to its location, challenging the traditional notions of art as a transportable and marketable commodity.
