institutional critique is highlighting the sort of back house interelations between artworks and office work co existing together, and how both ultimately contribute to a finished work of art.
artists include; michael asher, marcel broothaers, daniel buren and hans haacke.
n more technical terms, Institutional Critique is an artistic term meant as a commentary of the various institutions and assumed normalities of art and/or a radical disarticulation of the institution of art (radical is linguistically understood in its relation to radix which means to get to the root of something). For instance, assumptions about the supposed aesthetic autonomy or neutrality of painting and sculpture are often explored as a subject in the field of art, and are then historically and socially mapped out (i.e., ethnographically and or archaeologically) as discursive formations, then (re)framed within the context of the museum itself.
