* ''Kunst muss hängen (Art Must Hang) (Galerie Christian Nagel / Cologne)'', 2001. Featured in ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20061215091005/http://www.icaphila.org/exhibitions/past/ownlife.php Make Your Own Life: Artists In & Out of Cologne]''. Fraser reenacted an impromptu 1995 speech by a drunk Martin Kippenberger, word-by-word, gesture-for-gesture.

==Films==
+
* ''[http://www.ubu.com/film/fraser_frank.html Little Frank and His Carp]'', 2001. Videotape performance. Fraser targets architectural dominance of modern gallery spaces. Using the original soundtrack of an acoustic guide at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, she "... writhes with pleasure as the recorded voice draws attention to the undulating curves and textured surfaces of the surrounding space" which she takes literally in an "erotic encounter".

* ''[http://www.ubu.com/film/fraser_welcome.html Official Welcome (Hamburger Kunstverein)]'', 2003. Commissioned by the MICA Foundation for a private reception. Fraser mimicks "the banal comments and effusive words of praise uttered by presenters and recipients during art-awards ceremonies. Midstream, assuming the persona of a troubled, postfeminist art star, Fraser strips down, [...] to a Gucci thong, bra and high-heel shoes, and says, I'm not a person today. I'm an object in an art work."
 +
 
 +
* ''Untitled'', 2003. Videotape performance. Fraser recorded a hotel-room sexual encounter with a private collector, who had paid close to $20,000 to participate, "not for sex, according to the artist, but to make an artwork." According to Fraser, the amount that the collector had paid her has not been disclosed, and the "$20,000" figure is way off the mark. Only 5 copies of the 60-minute DVD were produced, 3 of which are in private collections, 1 being that of the collector with whom she had had the sexual encounter; he had pre-purchased the performance piece in which he was a vital participant.

Andrea Fraser (1965, Billings, Montana) is an artist and Professor of Interdisciplinary Studio in the Department of Art at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her work has been identified with performance, video, project-based art, context art, and institutional critique.

She studied at the School of Visual Arts, New York (1982–84), Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Study Program, New York (1984–85), and New York University, New York (1985–86).

Fraser is a founding member of the feminist performance group The V Girls (1986–1996), the project-based artist initiative Parasite (1997–1998), and the cooperative art gallery Orchard, New York (2005–2008).

Major works include projects for the Venice Biennale (1993), Tate Modern, London (2007), and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2016), among performances and exhibitions at many other venues.

Surveys of her work have been presented by the Belkin Art Gallery, University of British Columbia; the Kunstverein Hamburg; the Kemper Art Museum, Washington University; the Franz Hals Museum in Haarlem; and the Carpenter Center, Harvard University. Major retrospectives of her work have been organized by the Museum Ludwig Cologne (2013); the Museum der Moderne Kunst Salzburg (2015); the Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona and the MUAC UNAM Mexico City (both 2016).

Her essays and performance texts have appeared in, among others, Artforum, October, and Texte zur Kunst. Her books include Andrea Fraser: de la crítica institutional a la institutión de la crítica (Siglo Veintiuno Editores, 2016); 2016 in Museums, Money, and Politics (MIT Press, 2018), and Andrea Fraser Collected Interviews, 1990–2018 (A.R.T. Press and Koenig Books, 2019). (2022)

Films, videos[edit]

  • Kunst muss hängen (Art Must Hang) (Galerie Christian Nagel / Cologne), 2001. Featured in Make Your Own Life: Artists In & Out of Cologne. Fraser reenacted an impromptu 1995 speech by a drunk Martin Kippenberger, word-by-word, gesture-for-gesture.
  • Little Frank and His Carp, 2001. Videotape performance. Fraser targets architectural dominance of modern gallery spaces. Using the original soundtrack of an acoustic guide at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, she "... writhes with pleasure as the recorded voice draws attention to the undulating curves and textured surfaces of the surrounding space" which she takes literally in an "erotic encounter".
  • Official Welcome (Hamburger Kunstverein), 2003. Commissioned by the MICA Foundation for a private reception. Fraser mimicks "the banal comments and effusive words of praise uttered by presenters and recipients during art-awards ceremonies. Midstream, assuming the persona of a troubled, postfeminist art star, Fraser strips down, [...] to a Gucci thong, bra and high-heel shoes, and says, I'm not a person today. I'm an object in an art work."
  • Untitled, 2003. Videotape performance. Fraser recorded a hotel-room sexual encounter with a private collector, who had paid close to $20,000 to participate, "not for sex, according to the artist, but to make an artwork." According to Fraser, the amount that the collector had paid her has not been disclosed, and the "$20,000" figure is way off the mark. Only 5 copies of the 60-minute DVD were produced, 3 of which are in private collections, 1 being that of the collector with whom she had had the sexual encounter; he had pre-purchased the performance piece in which he was a vital participant.
  • A Visit to the Sistine Chapel, 2005. A video commissioned by Brancolini Grimaldi and filmed at the Vatican Museum.
