I've done some research into participatory art and I have found some really interesting stuff!
I have discovered that this kind of art can be manifested and linked to installation art. In 2008 at 'Sculpfest' Anne Dean who is a sculptor and ceramic artist, created an installation called 'Make a Sculpture and a Photograph'. She provided the public with clay tiles and a polaroid camera and invited viewers to create their own art in the form of sculptures and document these by taking photographs of these. Here are some images taken from the websites I have come across. These have been taken from these websites:
So these are the mateirals that the public were provided with to create responses to sculpture.
These are examples of art that the public had created in response to the installation and the context that was provided for participatory art.
The variety in responses from the public is great. From sculptures whichh have a distinguished subject matter e.g. pyrmaids to sculptures that are free form. It is interesting how people have named their responses to document and record the existence of their work alongside having taken a photograph of it.
So far my findings have shown me that the artists have used cameras to document the results from their intentions of allowing the public to co-create the art. Are there other ways in which this participatory role and action could be recorded and documented? If so, how could this be done?
