A richly illustrated, double-cover publication that unites two artists by examining their shared move towards participation in art. 'Lygia Clark: The I and the You' and 'Sonia Boyce: An Awkward Relation', presented concurrently at Whitechapel Gallery in 2024, have been especially conceived to be in dialogue with each other. Both exhibitions explore pivotal moments in the artists' careers, where each began experimenting with participatory practices. Although separated by time and geography, and working in different cultural and socio-political contexts, the artists share a deep interest in addressing and shifting the relationship between artist, artwork and audiences, often inviting direct engagement with their works, including touch, manipulation, even inhabitation. In pairing the two artists in this way, interconnected art histories are brought to light. This publication traces these histories, presenting an expanded rather than atomised perspective on transnational art practices. The book features an essay by Lygia Clark scholar and curator Michael Asbury as well as a conversation between Sonia Boyce and Gilane Tawadros.
