Replying to Installation Art. please read and comment

Ok so long story short i may be working soon for a lady known as judy pfaff. shes a famous artist known for her sculptures and installlations. "Basically" and installation is a gallery setup using random shit it can be anything. it is then arranged to depictmoods, sounds, patterns, optical shit, emotions, anythign!

example:

. sooo. the reason i might be doing this is because she is local and like to hire the help of young welders and such ( BIG FUCKING CASH), i myself am a fucking awesome welder (not trying to be conceded). im completely qualified on mannny levels and im also a decent artist (more on the mini sculpture and graffiti side).

ex of  some of my shit (gift i made. not my best tho)

but what im trying to say is that i really want to work for this lady but i have no experience in installation art. i feel that if i do work for her i should at least know the understanding of it. when i look at it i feel like its a bunch of shit all thrown together in weird patterns. i KNOW what its supposed to mean. i just dont know why!

i think its kind of like the emperor and his robe story. he had some grand tailor come in and the tailor made him a robe out of "invisible thread". he walked around naked pretty much and everyone was all like your clothes are so grand. they said this cuz they were afraid hed kill them or something. but one young boy was like hes naked! everyone said SHHH cuz they didnt want the emperor to hear. the little boy was liek BULLSHIT! MOTHAFUCKAS NAKED!

so is it really art that i should understand or is it a bunch of people following some guidlines set down by others so that they can mimic understanding?

i need your input on the subject especially if your are artistically gifted. and if you wanna talk about it in depth please feel free to pm me

thanks!
