It got us talking about who is in charge, not just in terms of
white male artists over black female ones, but in the makeup of the very institutions that commission and display work.
One of the films that didn't blow us away at Sundance, but offered a solid film full of jokes made just for cinephiles, was In a World... The film directed by actress Lake Bell follows a young female voice coach (Bell) as she joins the all -
male race to land the
white - hot new trailer of a blockbuster trilogy, and with it lay claim to the legendary trailer catchphrase «In a world...» She faces stuffy, douchebag competition in Ken Marino and even her own father (Fred Melamed), a legendary voice -
over artist who can't bring himself to recognize his daughter's talent.
One might be excused for believing it if «conceptual art» is defined by the overwhelmingly
white and
male canon of American
artists lionized by institutions such as MoMA
over the past several decades.
