  8. William Hazlitt (1778-1830) on the National Gallery • ‘A sanctuary, a holy of holies, collected by taste, sacred to fame, enriched by the recent products of genius’

  9. Saatchi and Saatchi Ad Campaign • The V&A • ‘An ace caff with quite a nice museum attached’

  10. Institutional Critique • attempts to make visible the historically and socially constructed boundaries between inside and outside, public and private • is critical of supposedly disinterested aesthetic judgement • claims that taste is institutionally cultivated and differs according to the class, ethnic, sexual and gender backgrounds of art's audiences • Pierre Bourdieu

  11. Futurist ManifestoF. T. Marinetti, 1909 • We want to demolish museums and libraries. It is in Italy that we are issuing this manifesto of ruinous and incendiary violence, by which we today are founding Futurism, because we want to deliver Italy from its gangrene of professors, archaeologists, tourist guides and antiquaries. • Italy has been too long the great second-hand market. We want to get rid of the innumerable museums which cover it with innumerable cemeteries. • Museums, cemeteries! Truly identical in their sinister juxtaposition of bodies that do not know each other. Public dormitories where you sleep side by side for ever with beings you hate or do not know. Reciprocal ferocity of the painters and sculptors who murder each other in the same museum with blows of line and colour. To make a visit once a year, as one goes to see the graves of our dead once a year, that we could allow! We can even imagine placing flowers once a year at the feet of the Gioconda! But to take our sadness, our fragile courage and our anxiety to the museum every day, that we cannot admit! Do you want to poison yourselves? Do you want to rot?

  18. ‘THE WHITE CUBE’ An image comes to mind of a white, ideal space that, more than any single picture, may be the archetypal image of 20th-century art. The ideal gallery subtracts from the artwork all cues that interfere with the fact that it is "art." The outside world must not come in, so windows are usually sealed off. Walls are painted white. Art exists in a kind of eternity of display, and though there is lots of "period" (late modern), there is no time. Indeed the presence of that odd piece of furniture, your own body, seems superfluous, an intrusion.

  19. Martin Creed, ‘The lights going on and off’, 2001
