The artist, acting as a facilitator, establishes spaces, situations, or "platforms" designed to host social activities and information exchange between audience participants. Participatory in nature, a relational work emphasizes the social interactions created by the installation or event and conceives the audience as a community. Key practitioners include Liam Gillick, Pierre Huyghe, Maurizio Cattelan, Carsten Höller, and Rirkrit Tiravanija.  ]]></dc:description></metadata>
