Description
How Institutions Think explores how institutions shape and are shaped by contemporary art and curatorial practices. This anthology considers the institution as an object of inquiry across multiple disciplines, including political theory, organizational science, and sociology.
The contributors reflect upon how institutions inform art, curatorial, educational, and research practices, and consider broader questions about the nature of institutional frameworks. They examine whether institution building is still possible, feasible, or desirable, and explore ways to establish ethical principles and build institutions accordingly.
