"(Relational Aesthetics)...refers to artwork that is open-ended,
interactive and resistant to closure. Relational Art takes place in
time and space and creates interactive communicative
experiences and intersubjective encounters in which meaning is
ellaborated collectively." - Legier Biederman.
"Contemporary Art is a buffer zone of time in which
interaction (relational engagement) can take place, and
interaction between humans and art (humans and humans; art
and humans) becomes a form of special 'limited time only'
chance, therefore still commodified but in a radically different
way.
This goes to reinforce Bourriaud's understanding of the
relational in art - that contemporary art serves to look at things
not only in a different way, but through a whole set of new
categories, new forms of paradigm shifts that collide with
earlier modernist understandings of art." - Robin Campbell.
