Book Review

Interactive contemporary art. Participation in practice

Abstract

This book, edited by British art historian Kathryn Brown and published by Tauris, is a collection of essays discussing the very topical concept of participation in contemporary art. With the theories of Nicholas Bourriaud (2002) becoming relevant and indeed prevalent in the late 1990s and subsequently in current art making practices, it is a fitting time for a book such as this to review and problematise different aspects of the concept and its various embodiments in art during the last two decades.
