Viewers of contemporary art are often invited to involve themselves
actively in artworks, by entering installations, touching objects,
performing instructions or clicking on interactive websites. Why
have artists sought to engage spectators in these new forms of
participation? In what ways does active participation affect the
viewer's experience and the status of the artwork? Spanning a range
of practices including kinetic art, happenings, environments,
performance, installations, relational and new media art from the
1950s to the present, this critical anthology sheds light on the
history and specificity of artworks that only come to life when you
-- the viewer -- are invited to "do it yourself." Rather than a
specialist topic in the history of twentieth- and twenty-first
century art, the "do-it-yourself" artwork raises broader issues
concerning the role of the viewer in art, the status of the
artwork, and the socio-political relations between art and its
contexts.
