Description
Looking back nearly 60 years across a wide spectrum of genres and media, this exhibition examines how artists have engaged members of the public as essential collaborators in the art-making process. On view are works by more than 40 artists, from early performance and conceptual pieces to contemporary sculpture and web-based projects. Encompassing restagings of historic installations as well as new commissions that invite your direct participation, the exhibition reveals how artists pioneered many of the collaborative tactics now associated with the Web 2.0 zeitgeist. The presentation will change in form and content as you and other visitors contribute — either at the museum or online.
