The endurance of an object
Tangibility:
Regarding the feel and substantiality of an object
How they Relate:
Different works can be a mix of both permanent or impermanent, tangible and intangible.
Sculptures, set in stone, metal or wood, are meant to be permanent and tangible, lasting for thousands of years and being real objects able to be touched.
Tattoos are an example of something permanent but intangible. They are a permanent 2D rendering, making then intangible because of the inability to distinguish it as a seperate form.
An example of something tangible, but impermanent, would be something similair to Dale Chihuly's, Jerusalem Wall of Ice. Since this piece was made of ice, it was not permanent, melting over a few days, but it still was a tangible piece of art.
