Document Summary

* old days where you didn"t know what the professor knew, but analysis and interpretation and use you put it to. * barr re: moma- lab for people to participate, experimentation but modernism is about distillation of display, purification. * typical space is a white cube with little access to the outside, shiny floor. * blank walls, ready to receive, elevated emptiness. * values of modernity, connects to a certain way of looking , establishes site where art"s self-apparent character is complicated, begins to disintegrate, complicates notion of artistic autonomy. Contradictory because in modern, artist = master, determines meaning, not beholden to capital, to structure, artist is. * shown spaces, they"re not actually super autonomous unless they"re loaded af. * exterior marble floor and wall, expensive granite and marble. * exposed structure- steel beams = modern tech is being shown to people. * you have to circumnavigate, can"t get from a to b directly.
