Content description

This module investigates various critical strategies that artists and curators have employed in critiquing art institutions.

Part 1: Inside and outside the institution

This session investigates embedded critique versus activist practice.

Part 2: The institution of critique

This session explores the implementation of critical strategies in experimental institutions.
