Visitors' Profile 2005 (after Haacke)
In the late sixties and early seventies Hans Haacke carried out a series of polls involving visitors to private and public art galleries, and other art institutions such as Documenta 5, 1972. For all but two of these surveys, Haacke used a questionnaire with ten demographic questions on age, religion, sex, income, etc., and ten questions on current social and political problems. The “Visitors’ Profile” (1971), compiled during the exhibition “Directions 3: Eight Artists” at the Milwaukee Art Center, also follows this pattern.” — Generali Foundation. This online version for mbutler.org is an updated version of Haacke's original poll built to reflect current political and social circumstances.
There are 20 questions in this survey.
