Yet can the participatory ideal be discarded or merely replaced with another term, just because it has become disemboweled into a tool of pacification? The gestures of participatory art insists that the concept of participation must be re-imagined and shifted onto other registers. Moving from reflections on institutional critique and impact to concrete analyses of moments of unsolicited, delicate participation and refusal, the book examines a range of artistic practices from India, Sudan, Guatemala and El Salvador, the Lebanon, the Netherlands and Germany. It proposes the concept of the gesture as a way of theorising participatory art, situating it between the visual and the performing arts, as both individual and collective, both internal attitude and social habitude.Manchester scholarship online.Community arts projectsInteractive artElectronic books. audience participation.civic participation.common-sense assumptions.community theatre.concept of impact.contemporary theatre.delicate gestures.institutional critique.participatory art.participatory practices.performance art.vicarious participation.visual arts.Community arts projects.Interactive art.702.81Bala Sruti1973-1676588MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910825446403321The gestures of participatory art4042887UNINA
