Thanks, Stella.

I would like to question the notion that the freelance curator is somehow in a better position to critisize the 'institution'. That might be true from an ontological point of view. Outsiders usually see more, or let's say other things, compared to the insiders. But their critique is, at best,(cheap) consultancy, and usually irrelevant because they do not hold an official position inside. That's why, in my view, 'institutional criticism'(a very regional German phenomena, btw) has this moral touch as us & them, we outsiders, you insiders. we clean (while no power), you dirty.
