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."
