The award-winning, highly acclaimed Artificial Hells is the first
historical and theoretical overview of socially engaged
participatory art, known in the US as "social practice." In recent
decades, the art gallery and the museum have become a place for
participatory art, where an audience is encouraged to take part in
the artwork. This has been heralded as a revolutionary practise
that can promote new emancipatory social relations. What was it is
really? In this fully updated edition, Claire Bishop follows the
trajectory of twentieth-century art and examines key moments in the
development of a participatory aesthetic. This itinerary takes in
Futurism and Dada; the Situationist International; Happenings in
Eastern Europe, Argentina and Paris; the 1970s Community Arts
Movement; and the Artists Placement Group. It concludes with a
discussion of long-term educational projects by contemporary
artists such as Thomas Hirschhorn, Tania Bruguera, Pawel Althamer
and Paul Chan. Bishop challenges the political and aesthetic
ambitions of participatory art this practise. She not only
scrutinizes the emancipatory claims, but also provides an
alternative to the ethical (rather than artistic) criteria invited
by such artworks. In response Artificial Hells calls for a less
prescriptive approach to art and politics, and for more compelling,
troubling and bolder forms of participatory art and criticism.
