One of her most notable series is the Polished Walls (1990-), where she meticulously sands and polishes sections of gallery walls until they become reflective, turning the architecture itself into a mirror-like surface that interacts with the viewer and the surrounding space. Sander’s work often engages with the institutional context of art, questioning the boundaries of what constitutes an artwork and how it is presented. Her approach is characterized by precision, subtlety, and a deep engagement with the physical and conceptual space. Sander’s work has been exhibited in major international museums and galleries, and she is considered a significant figure in contemporary conceptual art, pushing the limits of how art interacts with its environment and audience.

What is site specific art?

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.
