"A criticism is that it can be a misnomer, since it could be argued that institutional critique artists often work within the context of the very same institutions. Most institutional critique art, for instance, is displayed in museums and galleries, despite its critical stance towards them."
I found this to be an interesting quandary as it questions the very nature of the entire institutional critique philosophical stance and therefore makes us question the nature of the Artworld which is always a good thing in my opinion. Questioning leads Society forward towards new perspectives.
I personally find the concept of institutional critique a valid one and I enjoyed the criticism of "the distinctions of taste are not separate from aesthetic judgement, and that taste is an institutionally cultivated sensibility."
