Understanding Institutional Critique
So, what is actually meant by Institutional Critique?
Institutional criticism is an act of criticizing institutions as artistic practices, institutions usually become museums or art galleries.
Explanation of Institutional Critique
Institutional criticism began in the late 1960s when artists began to create art in response to institutions that buy and show off their work. In the 1960s, art institutions were often considered as a place for ‘cultural confinement’ and thus something to attack aesthetically, politically and theoretically.
Hans Haacke is a prominent exponent of institutional criticism, specifically targeting funds and donations given to museums and galleries. In 1971, the Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne rejected his work Manet-Project 74 from one of their performances. This job is related to the new acquisition of this museum of a group of Asparagus Edouard Manet and detailing the origin of paintings and backgrounds of Nazi Donors.
During the 1990s it became a fashion for critical discussion that will be held by the curator and director in the art gallery and museum centered on this subject, thus making the institution not only a problem but also the solution. This has changed the nature of institutional criticism, something reflected in the art of Carey Young, which considers this dilemma.
