The important vanguard work of these two artists, both already active in the 1970s, has gone beyond the concept of performance to develop a new definition of the happening based on dialogue between the artist and the audience, activated from this point on as a fundamental agent in the invention and implementation of the work. The passive role of the viewer gives way to total engagement that “reactivates the processes of socialization and relation.”
