Description

Nicolas Bourriaud's 'Estética relacional' explores the emergence of relational aesthetics in contemporary art, focusing on the 1990s. The book addresses the misunderstandings surrounding art practices of that era due to a lack of comprehensive theoretical discourse. Bourriaud emphasizes the need to understand the evolving roles of art in society, history, and culture, and how it interacts with the social fabric. He critiques the commodification of human relationships and the role of artists show more in creating interactive, socially engaged works that challenge these norms. The book is aimed at art critics, theorists, and those interested in understanding the dynamic interactions between art and society. show less
