A Talk with Andrea Fraser
Andrea Fraser has spent 30 years analyzing the systems and structures of the art world—often through performance and, more recently, through psychoanalytic work with groups. Currently the subject of a traveling retrospective organized by the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona in Spain and the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City, her work also featured this year in the “Open Plan” series at the Whitney Museum, where she showed Down the River (2016), a sound installation of recordings made at Sing Sing prison. During our conversation, which took place in September in the courtyard of the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, she elaborated on the current state of museums, her role as an educator, and the relevance of group relations to her art.
