| Abstract [eng] |
This article examines how institutional critique shows up in the publications of the Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius, Lithuania, by focusing, in particular, on interviews as a way the institution manages and shapes discourse. By using critical discourse analysis, the study explores how choices around who gets interviewed, what questions are asked, and how the responses are edited all influence which critical voices are heard – and how. The analysis identifies three recurring themes: how values are managed, how visibility is controlled, and how dependency and power operate within the institution. These patterns show how critique can be absorbed and softened, thereby becoming something more institutionally acceptable. While the focus is on one specific institution, the findings speak more broadly about the cultural field in Lithuania, by offering insight into how cultural institutions structure and reshape critical conversations. |
