Participation

Participation (London: Whitechapel and MIT Press, 2006), an edited anthology of key texts on the idea of social participation in art from the late 1950s to the present day. The book presents a range of theoretical, artistic and curatorial positions by which to address the collective production and reception of contemporary art.

The book was launched with a discussion at the Whitechapel Art Gallery as part of their series Big Ideas. My discussion with Jeremy Till (Professor of Architecture, University of Sheffield) and Nick Ridout (Lecturer in Theatre and Performance, QMU), September 2006, is podcast here.
