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. 410 0$aManchester scholarship online. 606 $aCommunity arts projects 606 $aInteractive art 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aaudience participation. 610 $acivic participation. 610 $acommon-sense assumptions. 610 $acommunity theatre. 610 $aconcept of impact. 610 $acontemporary theatre. 610 $adelicate gestures. 610 $ainstitutional critique. 610 $aparticipatory art. 610 $aparticipatory practices. 610 $aperformance art. 610 $avicarious participation. 610 $avisual arts. 615 0$aCommunity arts projects. 615 0$aInteractive art. 676 $a702.81 700 $aBala$b Sruti$f1973-$01676588 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825446403321 996 $aThe gestures of participatory art$94042887 997 $aUNINA
