just a couple quotes i found helpful to start thinking about outside the white cube art:

"The time for art is over. The point now is to realise art, to really create on every level of life..." (Situationist International, 1964, p3)

'The site is not simply a geographical location or architectual setting, but a network of social relations, a community, and the artist and his sponsors envision the artwork as an intergral extension of the community rather than an intrusive contribution from elsewhere"
(Miwon Kwon, One Place After Another, 2002, p6)

i think both texts were in our readers from last semester if you want to have a look.
