Laric collaborated with the museum&#8217;s staff to reinstall and arrange their collection of casts, interspersing his own sculptures and video works shown on monitors and projectors throughout the museum. That Kopienkritik largely comprises works of art not created by but rearranged by Laric calls into question the functionality of the artist as not a maker of things, but a producer of ideas. Kopienkritik (\u201ccopy criticism\u201d) is the process of analyzing copies of classic sculptures \u2014typically Roman reproductions of lost Greek versions \u2014 to arrive at a greater understanding of the originals.
