Detailed Description

Institutional Critique is an art movement that began in the 1960s and critiques the institutions that house, support, and display art. The goal of the movement is to make these institutions more transparent and accountable. Famous artists associated with institutional critique include Marcel Duchamp, Hans Haacke, and Michael Asher. These artists sought to challenge the conventions of the art world and to make a statement about the role of the artist in society. One famous painting associated with institutional critique is Duchamp’s “Fountain.” This work was a urinal that Duchamp submitted to an art exhibition. The work was rejected by the exhibition’s organizers, but it went on to become one of the most famous and controversial works of art of the 20th century. Institutional critique has been a powerful force in the art world, and its impact can still be seen today.
