The Art of Participation: 1950 to Now
Saturday, November 08, 2008 – Sunday, February 08, 2009 This exhibition presents an overview of participation-based art since the 1950s, reflecting on how artists create situations in which the public becomes a collaborator in the art-making process. Early conceptual art and historic works by Joseph Beuys, John Cage, Dan Graham, and Hans Haacke, among others, will be contextualized with projects and installations by contemporary artists such as Jochen Gerz, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Lynn Hershman Leeson, and Erwin Wurm. The rise of Web 2.0 platforms such as MySpace and Second Life have prompted SFMOMA to commission several artists to create new installations and online works for the exhibition, many of which consider and engage strategies of participation.
Im Rahmen der gross angelegten Ausstellung über Partizipation in der Kunst zeigen c.a.l.c. & Johannes Gees die Arbeit “communimage” (1999) in einer Off- und Online- Installation.
