Inspired by earlier artists but developed as a genre in its own right in the last few decades of the twentieth century, installation art is now recognized by academic institutions. It has long been seen as an example of ‘anti-establishment’ artwork, since it is typically created in public spaces and involves the use of ‘everyday’ materials, unlike conventional artwork that, even though usually meant for public consumption, is created in a private space. Installation art in contemporary times also uses emerging forms of artistic representation such as videos, social networks and aspects of virtual reality. This form of art, like traditional art, can be either realistic or abstract in its representation of reality.
Straddling the boundaries between sculpture and painting, installation art gives more priority to the intention of the artist rather than the physical form or structure of the art: its purpose is often to relay a specific message through the medium chosen by the artist. Artists such as ‘Banksy’, known only by his pseudonym and famous for his street art that is meant as a caricature of political institutions, often use their art as a medium of socio-political activism. 
From the audience’s perspective, installation art also gives an unprecedented amount of importance to the viewer’s subjective perception of the artwork. The intention of the artist is therefore supplemented by the way in which viewers perceive the artwork. This vision of art overturns the traditional Platonic view of image theory, which gives the form and intention of the artwork far more predominance than external perspectives on the work. There are no ‘ideal’ forms in the creation and exhibition of installation art. This attribute is as it should be: art, after all, requires both an artist and an audience in order to flourish, and nowhere is this creator-viewer relationship more prominent than in the study and appreciation of installation art, which embraces the flawed and fragmented nature of reality. 
The author’s reference to Banksy serves primarily to
  • a)
    give an example of contemporary artists who often use pseudonyms.
  • b)
    establish that contemporary art often criticizes political organizations.
  • c)
    prove that caricatures can also be categorized as legitimate art. 
  • d)
    illustrate how street art forms a well-known part of installation art.
  • e)
    to exemplify the use of installation art to convey messages
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Passage Analysis
Summary and Main Point
Pre-Thinking
This is a Function question.  Let’s review the pertinent portion of the portion to figure out why the author mentions ‘Banksy’:
installation art gives more priority to the intention of the artist rather than the physical form or structure of the art: its purpose is often to relay a specific message through the medium chosen by the artist. Artists such as ‘Banksy’, known only by his pseudonym and famous for his street art that is meant as a caricature of political institutions, often use their art as a medium of socio-political activism.
As we can see, the author uses the example of artists such as Banksy to elaborate on the earlier point about how IA is less concerned with the form of the art itself and instead concentrates on the specific message that the artists want to convey.
Answer Choices
A
give an example of contemporary artists who often use pseudonyms.
Incorrect: Out of Scope
 
We don’t know from the passage whether artists today often use pseudonyms. According to the passage, this is true only of Banksy.
B
establish that contemporary art often criticizes political organizations.
Incorrect: Out of Scope
Banksy is referred to in the context of some artists from the genre of IA — not of contemporary art in general.
C
prove that caricatures can also be categorized as legitimate art. 
Incorrect: Out of Scope
There is no discussion on whether caricatures count as 'legitimate' art.
D
illustrate how street art forms a well-known part of installation art.
Incorrect: Out of Context
 
The information given about street art is with reference to the form of art work produced by Banksy but it is not the reason that Banksy is mentioned. 
E
to exemplify the use of installation art to convey messages
Correct:
This choice is the closest to what we pre-thought.

It is impossible to describe the arts in the United States without reference to our extraordinary ethnic and cultural diversity, but recognition of the full spectrum of different traditions has been slow in coming. The story of the realization of Americas extraordinary artistic diversity can be told in three chapters, culminating in the fairly recent proliferation of cultural centers of color, and demonstrates that art, like life, can flourish in many different settings.The settlement houses of the late 1800s, supported by private philanthropy and founded to provide artistic training, produce performances, and mount exhibitions, were designed to address the needs of poor European immigrants. As the communities in which settlement houses were located changed, so did their constituencies; and most of these organizations now serve communities of color. The oldest and best known, Hull House in Chicago, serves one of the countrys largest multiethnic communities with immigrants from Asia, Latin America, Africa, and other parts of the world.In the 1930s, a variety of visual, performing, and literary arts projects were initiated under the aegis of the Works Progress Administration and aimed not only at providing employment for artists but at generally encouraging a wide range of cultural expression. The achievements of these programs were substantial. The Negro Unit of the Federal Theater Project employed some 500 blacks in New York and produced dramas focusing on Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, and Pierre Toussaint. The Federal Music Project featured all-black opera casts and preserved, recorded, and published Negro folk music, and thousands of African-Americans attended art classes funded by the Project in the South Side Community Art Center in Chicago and at the Harlem Art Center.The 1960s saw a grassroots movement among artists of color, when an unprecedented number of college-trained artists of color who possessed an understanding of the art forms of the larger society as well as those of their own communities, and who were tired of being rejected or stereotyped by established arts institutions, began to create informal groups and networks. They experimented with new artistic forms, often interdisciplinary, ethnocentric productions, in the process developing new audiences for the arts. The country was also in the throes of a cultural upheaval in which established models were challenged by young people from all racial, ethnic, and economic groups. Many of the cultural institutions established during this period, such as the Free Southern Theater of the Student nonviolent Coordinating Committee and El Teatro Campesino of the United Farmworkers, were integral parts of the civil rights struggle. The mood of activism, experimentation, and optimism was not limited to artists of color, but it was in this cultural ferment that the concept of nonprofit, community-based, ethnically specific organizations of color took root.Many of the "culturally elite" regarded these efforts with skepticism because these "radical artists" attacked the prevailing view that tended to rate cultures and their aesthetics strictly by European standards. But the result was not the devaluation of one experience at the expense of another. Rather, ethnically specific arts organizations, by preserving and sharing their own cultural heritages, promoted the unique cultural and artistic pluralism of the United States.Q. According to the passage, all of the following are true of the artists of color who worked during the 1960s EXCEPT

John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek, two prominent public figures associated with the Great Depression that started with the collapse of the stock market in 1929, both proposed different ways to restore the economy. Keynes, an economist from Cambridge, believed that the government should intervene in the situation, whereas Hayek, a professor from Austria, maintained that government involvement would be futile.Although Hayek almost singlehandedly established the distinction between microeconomics and macroeconomics, engineering the transfer from classical economics to the more practical and application-oriented methodology of mathematical economics, his solution for emerging from the Great Depression was underestimated in the light of Keynes contribution to economic theory. In his 2012 study Keynes Hayek: The Clash that Defined Modern Economics, famous theorist Nicholas Wapshott traces the history of the applications of both mens theories, giving unprecedented importance to Hayeks work. Describing how the Keynesian vision dominated Western economic analyses until the 1970s, Wapshott surmises that the primary reason for the dominance of Keynes theory during the Depression was that Hayeks solutions to the issue of economic recession were not politically viable. Hayek prescribed to the belief that, when left to its own devices, the market would eventually recover from its downturn and resume its equilibrium; this position was, not surprisingly, rejected by both the US and European political organizations, each seeking to prove its worth in reestablishing the economys prosperity.Which of the following would the author most likely agree with?
