Renowned thinker and author The Exform explores relational aesthetics in the age of digital reproduction
Celebrated theorist, art historian and curator Nicolas Bourriaud speaks about the concept of Relational Aesthetics in relationship to art and the digital sphere in the context of the exhibition "Take Me (I’m Yours)":http://thejm.net/3u9X302Y38M
The exhibit is a highly unconventional exhibition, where visitors are encouraged to participate, touch, and even take home works of art by more than 40 international and intergenerational artists, many of whom are creating new and site-specific works for the exhibition.
Bourriaud will situate the exhibit alongside an emerging mode of artistic production he calls "relational aesthetics: a set of practices which take as their theoretical and practical point of departure the whole of human relations and their social context, rather than an independent and private space.
