Nicolas Bourriaud attempts to renew our approach towards contemporary art by getting as close as possible to the artists' works, and by revealing the principles that structure their thoughts: an aesthetic of the inter-human, of the encounter; of proximity, of resisting social formatting.
The aim of his essay is to produce the tools to enable us to understand the evolution of today's art. We meet Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Louis Althusser, Rirkrit Tiravanjia or Félix Guattari, along with most of today's practising creative personalities.' (Back cover, Relational Aesthetics)
This book was written originally in French and published in 1998. It was translated to the current English version by Simon Pleasance and Fronza Woods with the participation of Mathieu Copeland.
