According to the critic Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen, today, certain socially engaged practices have taken over institutional criticism with this characteristic, that their questioning of institutions goes beyond the artistic framework and the modernist logic, addressing society as a whole. We will discuss how these practices - whether collaborative or co-creative, marked by instability and a dynamic of conflict or at least friction - escape the institution (cultural or otherwise), puting it in crisis... or not.
