SOCIAL PRACTICE ART includes a wide variety of methodologies, strategies and techniques in which social interaction and exchange are the means for the artwork. Social practice art may involve community-based practice, performative aspects, guerilla art, interactive media and social activism. Media such as video, sound, sculpture, performance, and text are often incorporated. Collaboration between artists and individuals from non-art backgrounds, especially those who are part of the intended audience, is an integral aspect of social practice art.
