Artificial Hells: Participatory Art and the Politics of Spectatorship


As history shows, the artistic gesture all too frequently stands in for the lack of democracy in society at large.

What Bishop suggests, however, in the clearest possible terms, is that we abandon facile critical approval of such actions and refocus on aesthetic criteria, not merely the social goals, of such artistic work. Only through this lens can we understand what the best of such experiments offer, such as those by such artists as Tania Bruguera, Paul Chan, Pawel Althamer, and Thomas Hirschhorn.

Artificial Hells: Participatory Art and the Politics of Spectatorship

Unquestionably informative and chronologically coherent, Bishop's book is great for the advanced scholar or connoisseur of performance and socially engaged art. That said, there's a lot of information with tendrils across centuries as well as mediums, and the language is very forthright in presenting Bishop's opinions; so, it's potentially a bit daunting for those new to the subject.
