Description: Pawel Althamer (b.1967) originally trained as a sculptor, but his work also bears the marks of relational art - social, collaborative, participatory art that is concerned less with producing objects than with composing human interactions. Often dematerialized to the point of invisibility, this work also increasingly enlists human participants, often in what the artist describes as 'reality directed'.
