Partaker Agency: Entanglement of agencies in artworks by Bekirovic and Abramović.

Abstract

In this paper I enquire ‘partaker agency’ in artworks by Semâ Bekirovic and Marina Abramović. Partaker agency is a concept which describes the agencies at work in collaborations between the various entities of an artwork in its coming to ‘life.’ Partaker agency is already at work in the very first conception of the artwork, during the process of making, and until and beyond the interaction with the audience. This whole process is, following Karen Barad (2003), how matter starts to ‘matter.’
