Relational Art

A Guided Tour

Beschreibung

Taking place in the skies over London, the plazas of Rotterdam, and the hallways of museums worldwide, a new kind of art has emerged since the 1990s. Known as Relational Art, this controversial practice features audience participation in ways never before realised, often using new media and social networking.

Rezensionen

A critically informed engagement with art that involves participation and interactivity, this book is a superb introduction to an increasingly important form of art practice, likely to become a key text for anyone interested in this kind of work.
