Is Claire Bishop against participatory art?
It is a misconception that I am entirely against participatory art. My intention is not to dismiss it, but rather to foster a more rigorous critical discourse around it. I believe that understanding the history and potential pitfalls of these practices, including the ethical dilemmas of inviting participation, allows for more potent and responsible artistic interventions, rather than simply celebrating the act of participation itself.
