Biography

Since the mid 1980s, in her performances, »gallery talks«, videos, essays, installations and »services« Andrea Fraser has been conducting a critical examination of the forms of presentation, the hierarchies and the mechanisms of exclusion within the art industry. Her works, which have been associated with the legacy of the critique of institutions and the specificities of place, have been represented at international biennials as well as in numerous solo-and group exhibitions in American and European museums – recently, among others, at Witte de With, Rotterdam (2007), at the Tate Modern, London (2006/07), at KW Berlin (2006/07) and at P.S.1 MoMA (2006).
