Luis Camnitzer is widely celebrated as one of the pioneers of conceptualism and institutional critique. Though he employs a wide range of techniques, including printmaking, photography, sculpture, and installation, his true medium is language. Camnitzer uses words and statements in experimental ways to critique repressive power structures, from specific governmental, institutional, and corporate entities to more general frameworks of social control, including pedagogical practices, the collective norms and values that dictate the construction of personal identity, and the imbalance of wealth and influence among developed and developing nations. Consisting of the sentence “All those who can’t read [___] are stupid” in six different languages, rendered in vinyl directly on the wall, Camnitzer’s Insults is a simultaneously playful and aggressive statement about the fallacies of nationalism and ethnic/linguistic tribalism.
