I assume that Geert and I have different things in mind when we speak of an institution. I certainly have no romantic ideas of freelance work. Do you think that I am totally naive? :)
Actually, I work with institutions all the time, though not being affiliated with one on a stable economic basis.
Setting up your own institution is fine. But what does that mean in practical terms?
I am referring to art spaces which work on a certain scale, and are given money and therefore visibility, influence, the power of representation by state or local governments, foundations, or private corporations.
When a curator or cultural producer works within this kind of framework, it may happen that s/he is welcome to present a work with (seemingly) critical content. But as Dorothee has remarked very rightly this frame often neutralizes the content. That's why I think the frame, according to Dorothee the space, has to be tackled.
