“The gap between art and pure self-expression is wide, and ArtPrize challenges that idea. It also forces visitors to define their aesthetic tastes, declare what it is that they consider worthy of being part of the art cannon and, more importantly, consider who is allowed into the white cube world, and why. In this way, ArtPrize is a radical reconfiguring of contemporary art culture that points to the Art World’s epic elitist failure.”
