THE ANALYSIS OF PARTICIPATORY ART PRACTICE: ART OUTSIDE THE TERRITORY AND PARTICIPATION IN AUTHORSHIP

Abstract

The article entitled The Analysis of Participatory Art Practice: Art Outside the Territory and Participation in Authorship is a part of a dissertation in Visual Arts and Design. The objective was to study and analyze the pattern of the participatory art practice and background concepts from related artworks. This study also aimed to examine the expression and evaluate the value of activity-based artworks, which are difficult to identify by the beauty standard of the traditional arts.

According to the analysis, participatory art did not have a specific pattern. It consisted of various types of art depending on the purpose of the artists, participants, and social context. It can be classified into three characteristics (i.e., Relation, Activist, and Antagonistic). These interdisciplinary relations were activist, audience, and organization that transcended participatory art into an art that can engage with other non-art organizations. Therefore, participatory artworks appeared in various forms and focused on situations and expressions rather than creating artifacts. It also created interaction, relation, and participation within the area.
