"Antagonism and Relational Aesthetics" Claire Bishop

In this article, Claire Bishop explains Bourriaud's interpretation of relational aesthetics by summarizing his point of view.  The works of Liam Gillick and Rirkrit Tiravanija have a lot to do with this topic because Bourriaud uses them as prime examples of artists that work with relational aesthetics. Bishop also brings up the work of Thomas Hirschorn and Santiago Sierra. She states that the work of Hirschorn and Sierra is more successful due to its political focus and the fact that it is more democratic.
