1. How did the break from the gallery system come into being? Does it relate directly to the shift towards Installation art as a medium for artists?
comment: The art exhibitions in Marfa, TX were a good example of ways in which art displayed in a gallery setting could also compliment the landscape around it. I'm thinking about Judd's steel cubes, and how they interacted with both the gallery space and the architecture of the surrounding town. The work was not detached from the space it was in, although they could probably be just as effective in a completely different environment.
2. What are the advantages of doing work outside of the gallery as compared to doing work within the gallery? Does working within the system create a safer place for progressing artists? Is there more support? Is the work 'taken more seriously' in the gallery?
3. How do galleries re-act to artists whose work criticizes the gallery structure? Was this idea initially rejected by curators? Were they reluctant to show works within the gallery that utilize its space for ironic purposes?
