Participation is the utopian sweet dream that has turned into a nightmare in contemporary
neoliberal societies. Yet can the participatory ideal be discarded or merely replaced
with another term, just because it has become disemboweled into a tool of pacification?
The gestures of participatory art insists that the concept of participation must be
re-imagined and shifted onto other registers. Moving from reflections on institutional
critique and impact to concrete analyses of moments of unsolicited, delicate participation
and refusal, the book examines a range of artistic practices from India, Sudan, Guatemala
and El Salvador, the Lebanon, the Netherlands and Germany. It proposes the concept
of the gesture as a way of theorising participatory art, situating it between the
visual and the performing arts, as both individual and collective, both internal attitude
and social habitude
