This exhibition "The Bell" by Eric Wesley goes with our class discussion this week about institutional critique. "Wesley has converted a former Taco Bell restaurant in Cahokia, Illinois... into “The Bell” which he will actively re-program throughout the year." By converting such a well known casual place used by a wide variety of people into an art exhibition Wesley critiques the way we view art and its accessibility. Showing that art doesn't always have to be viewed in such a large scale, regal frame like most art museums that were converted from old churches or government buildings.
