About Nicolas Bourriaud
Nicolas Bourriaud is a French curatorial theorist and art critic known for coining the term "relational aesthetics," which refers to a mode of artistic practice that prioritizes interpersonal relationships and social contexts over traditional art forms. Born in 1965, he has played a significant role in contemporary art through his writings and curatorial work, notably as the co-founder of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. His influential texts, such as "Postproduction" and "The Radicant," explore the implications of globalization and new media on art and culture.
