Art in America Article

The article I read was an interview between Keltie Ferris and Daniel Belasco. As Belasco asks about her work, Ferris says that she wants her work to be accessible for anyone and very autonomous. Though I find that there is value in Ferris’ stance towards autonomy and accessibility, I find her opinions to be contradictory. It is clear that Ferris is against institutionalism, as her work seeks to avoid the backstories of conceptual practice and contextual importance, yet she is clearly a part of the institutionalist group as she displays work in high-end art museums, museums that cater to a very specific audience.
