This is the exhibition brochure of 'One Step Forward, Two Steps Back - Us and Institution, Us as Institution', which takes the artist-institution relationship as a point of departure and explores artists' commitment to questioning given values within the art system and larger social context. Divided into sections that resemble smaller group exhibitions, it looks at the complexities of institutional critique through individual works, specific movements, and collectives from various social moments and localities, and the artist's position to act or not to act as agents of critique. 

Includes biographies of artists and contributors.
