Know about the book -

Play and Participation in Contemporary Arts Practices is written by Tim Stott and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1317531981 (ISBN 10) and 9781317531982 (ISBN 13).

This book engages debates in current art criticism concerning the turn toward participatory works of art. In particular, it analyzes ludic participation, in which play and games are used organizationally so that participants actively engage with or complete the work of art through their play. Here Stott explores the complex and systematic organization of works of ludic participation, showing how these correlate with social systems of communication, exhibition, and governance. At a time when the advocacy of play and participation has become widespread in our culture, he addresses the shortage of literature on the use of play and games in modern and contemporary arts practice in order to begin a play theory of organization and governance.
