Understanding Relational Aesthetics
So, what is actually meant by Relational Aesthetics?
The term created by Curator Nicolas Bourriaud in the 1990s to describe the tendency to make art based on, or inspired by, human relations and their social context.
Explanation of Relational Aesthetics
French curator Nicolas Bourriaud published a book titled Relational Aesthetics in 1998 where he defined the term as:
A series of artistic practices that are considered as theoretical and practical points to reject all human relations and their social context, not independent and personal space
He saw artists as facilitators rather than makers and considered art as information exchanged between artists and viewers. Artists, in this case, give audience access to power and means to change the world.
Bourriaud quoted the art of wearing Gillian, Philippe Parreno, Douglas Gordon and Liam Gillick as artists who worked for this agenda.
Moreover, as we have seen above, this term is one of a collection of dictionaries, acronyms, terms, jargon, or terminology in the field of arts that begins with an alphabet or prefix R, as well as terms associated with R.
