Useful Video in the Art Museum: Museum Education in Chicago and the Videos of Andrea Fraser.

Vanes, Zachary
- Abstract
Federal funding increases under the Kennedy-Johnson administration allowed art museums to produce videos that were intended to provide a useful experience to museum visitors. Educators at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago drew from experience with film and slides while creating video presentation spaces. At the same time, reliance on public funding left useful video open to negative economic impacts during the 1980s and 1990s. Andrea Fraser's Museum Highlights: A Gallery Talk (1989) and Inaugural Speech (1997) appropriate institutional video to critique the paternalistic legacy of educational media and the corporatization of museums.
