THE PARTICIPATOR IN CONTEMPORARY ART

The early twenty-first century has seen ontemporary art make continued use of audience participation, in which the spectator becomes part of the artwork itself. In this book, Kaija Kaitavuori claims that the participator is a new artistic role that does not fall u nder the auspices of artist or spectator and in proving such she devises a four-group typology of involvement. Her classification di stinguishes between different forms of engagement and identifies their specific features.
