By questioning the museum's authority, they reveal to viewers how art is continually restaged in the present and how the museum impacts their reception of art. By using photography as a critical tool, they not only dissect aspects of the museum and point to facets that shape viewer reception, but also dissect the act of looking to reveal how the viewer receives a work of art.Format: OnlineNo search engine accessLooking at art: photographs of museums and visitors as institutional critiqueText
