This symposium delves into how contemporary art often necessitates active participation from its audience. It challenges the traditional notion of the passive viewer, exploring how interpretation, interaction, and even collaboration shape the meaning and experience of art. Through panel discussions and presentations featuring artists, curators, and critics, the event will examine various forms of audience engagement, from interactive installations and performance art to social practice projects. By highlighting diverse perspectives and examining specific artworks, the symposium aims to illuminate the dynamic relationship between art and its audience, emphasizing the viewer's crucial role in the ongoing evolution of contemporary art.
