In her article Antagonism and Relational Aesthetics Clare Bishop argues that Nicholas Bourriard fails to address the issue of the quality of the relationships constructed in the works referred to in Relational Aesthetics. I've only read about half of Bourriard's text so can only speak with limited authority, but my experience of it thus far has been the near constant reappearance of a little voice that asks "Yeah, so what?" Bishop takes the standpoint that the construction of a relationship so as to (merely) create a situation of dialogue is in itself insufficient. Bishop discusses Santiago Sierra as an artist who, rather than constructing 'microtopias' in the form of situations or scenarios in which the (art) public can form some sort of (art) community, is instead concerned with the potential tension and antagonism of such situations. The response elicited by a work such as Sierra's 160cm Line tattooed on Four Paid People (2000), is not one simply of a participatory experience, and the work is better because of it.
