Andrea Fraser: The Politics of Cultural Capital
In her lecture
Andrea Fraser will consider the role played by cultural capital in contemporary political polarization and the rise of the
radical-right.
Andrea Fraser is an American artist and professor of art
at the University of California Los Angeles. Since the late 1980s, she has been one of the protagonists of institutional critique.
Her work examines the functions of art and the art market from sociological, psychoanalytical, and feminist perspectives.
In her performances, texts, video and audio works, Fraser has consistently problematized the contradictions of the field of
art.
The event is jointly hosted by the departments of Art Theory and Painting. It is organized by Jakob
Schillinger and Hannes Loichinger.
