Some more questions to consider

How does O'Doherty map out how we have come to the current form of the gallery?

Does O'Doherty's premise about the gallery and the nature of art still hold true today?

How do elements of O'Doherty's premise factor into your own production?

Bourriaud's ideas about Relational Aesthetics seem to pick up where O'Doherty's idea about the white cube left off. Can you describe this transition from one set of observations to another set of observations?

How does the gallery or museum function with respect to R.A.?

What are the attributes of R.A.? Bourriaud argues that this isn't a recapulation of past movements (although it has some shared features). What are some fo those past movments? How, according to him, is R.A. different?

What are some of the features that make this R.A. art so exciting to him?

Where do these ideas leave us?
