| Abstract | This paper is an urgent call for a collaborative form of art criticism in the assessment of social practice as a contemporary feminist issue. This study evaluates the recent institutional inclusion, increasing popularity and expanding theorizations on socially engaged practices by elucidating a relationship between feminist art critical methodologies and the current conception of social practice art, focused on the attribution of collaboration this form of practice purports. Through a comparative analysis of collaboration in two art historical precursors to social practice, evidenced by texts from Arlene Raven and Suzanne Lacy from the Los Angeles Woman’s Building in the 1970s and 1980s and Lucy Lippard and the Art Workers’ Coalition from 1969; to the 2004 moment of elevated discourse by art historians and critics Claire Bishop, Grant Kester and Miwon Kwon. This study endeavors to bring explicit feminist art critical methodologies to bear on recent discursive activity comprising social practice. |
