Oftentimes, an artwork’s context determines whether people deem it practical, political, social, or conceptual art. In selecting a particular context for their art, artists adopt an approach, what I call the “artistic strategy.” As fig. 1 illustrates, political and conceptual art are typically sited in the context of the artworld (minimally, an art exhibition), whereas social and practical artworks are sited in spaces that enable them to intervene in the real world. Social and conceptual artworks are open-ended “situations,” while practical and political artworks are “actions” meant to serve some purpose. Practical artworks act on whatever “world” they inhabit, whereas political art acts on the artworld.
