Abstract

Based on the conceptual working approaches of early artistic institutional critique, the essay exemplifies how, in the struggle for moral and ethical questions in the art field, artists increasingly became tone-setting cultural-political actors. As powerful voices with their own expertise in identity-political debates, they realigned cultural-political decision-making premises.
