Vocabulary
to take the art with him
Does the highlighted sentence mean "to take the art with him out of the museum space into the street"?
Context:
The supposed displacement of modernism toward the space of social discourse that is the street is perhaps most clearly performed by Alys’s 2002 New York City work, The Modern Procession. In some respects it prefigures the symbolism of Wentworth’s collective London walk between the two institutional art houses that are the Tates Britain and Modern. But where Wentworth’s critical impulse may be said to have consciously deflected attention away from the official ‘art of the house’ exclusively toward the spatio-temporal, everyday one of the street, Alys opted effectively to take the art with him.

Hi Yes, I think that is right. Alys believes that art should be available in public places, just carried around, rather than in special buildings such as the Tate galleries The direct route from Tate Britain to Tate Modern, btw, is along Millbank, cross at Lambeth Bridge, then along the Southbank walkway. But a dérive might take you through Smith Square or The Cut at Waterloo Dave
