ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Glasstire Publisher Brandon Zech and Guest Editor Lucia Simek discuss the Texas artists and collectives who've taken on institutional critique, how the genre so often slips into performance and discomfort, and what it means to critique an institution you also depend on.
"You need to be housed by the institution in order to make work that pushes against it, and so there's a certain affection you have for your enemy."
