The first fully illustrated survey of participatory art and its key
practitioners, published in association with the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art.
This new survey covers the rich and varied history of participatory
art, from early happenings and performances to current practices
that demand audience interaction. As the hallmarks of Web
2.0--browsing, sharing, collecting, producing--increasingly
permeate every aspect of society, this timely project reveals the
ways in which artists and viewers have approached the creation of
open works of art. The featured artists include Marina Abramovic
and Ulay, Vito Acconci, Joseph Beuys, John Cage, Janet Cardiff,
Lygia Clark, Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz, Dan Graham, Hans
Haacke, Allan Kaprow, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Antoni Muntadas, Yoko
Ono, Nam June Paik, and Erwin Wurm.
Original essays by Rudolf Frieling, Boris Groys, Robert Atkins, and
Lev Manovich identify seminal moments in participatory practice
from the 1950s to the present day. A rich array of plates introduce
work by all the artists in the accompanying exhibition, with
reproductions of significant projects by other major figures--from
Helio Oiticica, Joan Jonas, and Gordon Matta-Clark to Rirkrit
Tiravanija and SUPERFLEX--rounding out the survey. 215 color
illustrations.
