1.) My first question revolves around the concept of a museums purpose. Deutsche states, "Haccke's work is positioned, on account of its specificity, as "political" in contrast to the "indirect" art authorized by museological discourse and constituted, by virtue of the comparison, as "neutral"." This quote states that an art piece is intended to be neutral, however controversial art pieces such as Debord's, The Naked City. It is a product of this controversy that art works such as the Naked City, that allows a transparency of current political/socio-economic issues to be observed. If a museum is censored, then where can an artist fully express his/her opinion?
2.) The Guggenheim stated that Haacke's piece would, "threaten to erode the aura of isolation constructed around the museum and to dismantle its pretensions to represent universal interests." This quotes arises the question as to what art is appropriate to be displayed in a museum? Are artists only accepted into a museum based upon their skill or ability not to offend the wrong public?
