Klappentext zu „Institutional Critique: An Anthology of Artists' Writings “
"Institutional critique" is an artistic practice that reflects critically on its own place within galleries and museums and on the concept and social function of art itself. Such concerns have always been a part of modern art but took on new urgency at the end of the 1960s, when--driven by the social upheaval of the time and enabled by the tools and techniques of conceptual art--institutional critique emerged as a genre. This anthology traces the development of institutional critique as an artistic concern from the 1960s to the present, gathering writings and representative art projects of artists who developed and extended the genre. The artists come from across Europe and throughout the Americas; the texts and artworks included are notable for the range of perspectives and positions they reflect, and for their influence in pushing the boundaries of what is meant by institutional critique.

Rezension zu „Institutional Critique: An Anthology of Artists' Writings “
"This volume performs the much-needed task of mapping the multiple trajectories of artists committed to institutional critique¿from their excoriation of the museum to their skepticism about the category of art; from the feminist critiques of mastery and genius to the refutation of the hegemony of whiteness by artists of color. For over four decades these artists and critics have rejoiced in anti-authoritarian strategies, and, with a profound sense of love and possibility, have bravely suggested that the idea of art, far from being timeless, demands and deserves to be renewed and reimagined over time and space." ¿Helen Molesworth, Houghton Curator of Contemporary Art, Harvard Art Museum
