If participation has been an ideal in politics since ancient
democracy, in art it became central only with the avant-gardes
emerging from WWI and the Russian Revolution. Politics and
aesthetics are still catching up with each other. In the 21st
century, since the revolutionary unrest of the 1960s, participation
in art and architecture has lost its utopian glow and become the
focus of a fierce debate: does 'participatory' art and architecture
shape social reality, or is it shaped by it? Contemporary critics
see in participation only technocratic control, while others
embrace it as a viable politics in an era of global capitalism.
This innovative book breaks the impasse by looking at how
participants themselves exert power, rather than being victimized
or liberated from it. From artists hijacking Google Earth to
protesters setting up a museum of the revolution in Cairo, art,
architecture and daily life are explored in their participatory
dimension.
