Abstract

This article proposes a reflection on participatory and collaborative approaches based on the artistic practices of three contemporary Latin American artists and their different possibilities of relation with the public. Considering the classification suggested by Pablo Helguera in relation to models of participation in art, the proposals Donor (1999) and You give me your word? (1994-present) of the Brazilian artist Elida Tessler, Wine knowledge (2003) by the Brazilian artist José Luiz Kinceler and Floating Lanterns (2014-2016) by the Colombian artist Ricardo Moreno. It is observed how such practices articulate and enable discussions about the notions of participation, authorship, reception and collaboration based on relationships with daily life, generating strategies of action that develop subjective and specific paths, revealing the complexity of the theme.
