Brian O'Doherty published the Inside the White Cube essays in Artforum in 1976. Arthur Danto argued in 1964 that seeing something as art requires an atmosphere of artistic theory and a knowledge of the history of art. Bourdieu described a field of cultural production in which value is produced by struggle between positions. Miwon Kwon distinguished the physical, the institutional and the discursive senses of site.
The last blank is the one that changes what site-specific means for a student. A discursive site is an argument a work enters, so a painting can be site-specific to a debate rather than to a building, and can therefore be moved without loss, or destroyed by being shown in the wrong company.
