The Participator in Contemporary Art

More about the book

Exploring the evolving role of the audience in contemporary art, Kaija Kaitavuori introduces the concept of the 'participator' as a distinct artistic role. She presents a four-group typology of audience involvement, highlighting variations in engagement and their implications for authorship, ownership, and democratic participation in art-making. By clarifying these concepts, the book serves as a valuable resource for students and educators, enhancing the understanding of participatory art and addressing the complexities often found in related discussions.
