"The Aesthetics of Relations" by Nicolas Bourriaud

"The aesthetics of relationships"

In the late 1990s, new forms of expression such as installation art were rapidly blossoming. This must-read book on contemporary art, which called these forms of expression "relational art" and helped to popularize the concept, has finally been translated into Japanese after 25 years!

How did these elusive works that formalize participation, encounters, rendezvous, and even labor and business transactions come into being?
A must-have book for understanding today's art, which is moving towards total commodification amid a vacuum in artistic theory!
