Abstract

In anthropology, the connection between experiencing the world and creating images of the world is usually dealt with in relation to considerations of ways of seeing. In the anthropology of art, such reflections encourage us to differentiate among the various art categories the discipline is dealing with, such as ethnic art, tribal art, tourist art, popular art, world or global art, and contemporary art. With both the multitude of art practices in Europe and North America, as well as with the rising presence of art from all regions of the world, art history/theory needed to search for new narratives about art. Art market institutions do not deal with art historians’ or (other) art theorists’ conceptions of contemporary art, but rather take time frames to such ends. Participatory art implies several major shifts in conceiving artists, artworks, and audiences. Participatory art operates with things and images that are embedded in everyday life, to construct relationships and social spaces.
