Through her performances, Andrea Fraser (Billings, Montana, 1965) examines
the social, economic, and emotional structures of the art world. She turns
her critical, self-reflexive, and somewhat ironic gaze on different agents
in the art field and analyses their roles, motivations, and contradictions.
Fraser’s career has been linked to institutional critique from the outset,
and her influences include psychoanalysis, feminism, and the theories of
Pierre Bourdieu. Appropriation, site specific pieces, performance and body
work are some of the strategies Fraser uses to expose the incongruities of
the art world while also harnessing its full critical and political
potential.

Produced by: Hiuwai Chu, Anna Ramos, Dolores Acebal and Lucrecia Dalt
