Institutional critique is an art movement that examines the social and political contexts of art institutions, including museums, galleries, and art schools.

Marcel Duchamp is considered a pioneer of institutional critique for his work "Fountain" (1917), which challenged the traditional definition of art.

Institutional critique aims to challenge the authority of art institutions and their role in shaping the art world.

Institutional critique challenges the traditional definition of art by questioning the value and significance of art objects, blurring the boundaries between art and non-art, and emphasizing the importance of context in understanding art.

Institutional critique can take many forms, including paintings, sculptures, performances, and installations. All of the above examples are considered institutional critique.

Institutional critique is considered a branch of postmodernism, as it shares postmodernism's skepticism of grand narratives, its focus on difference and diversity, and its critique of power structures.

Pablo Picasso is not associated with institutional critique. He is considered a pioneer of modernism, not postmodernism.

Institutional critique has had a significant impact on contemporary art. It has helped to broaden the definition of art, challenged the authority of art institutions, and encouraged artists to engage with social and political issues.

Institutional critique is often criticized for being too negative and pessimistic, too focused on theory and not enough on practice, and too elitist and exclusive. However, it is not typically criticized for being too simplistic and not offering any real solutions.

Institutional critique is likely to continue to be a relevant and important movement in contemporary art, as it addresses fundamental issues about the role and function of art in society.
