Contextin' Art is a mini-portal for the exploration of the context of art through art. The economic, political and social forces shaping the histories of art are visualized as artworks themselves.

Contextin' takes cues from previous generations of artists engaged in "institutional critique" and "conceptual art," as well as calls from contemporary artivists to interrogate the desire for "techno-formalism" within institutions.
