“Is art criticism losing ground to the Internet and its rapidly proliferating art blogs? Do people still consider the art critics employed by newspapers and magazines the most important arbitrators of what is worth seeing and reading? Much recent discussion about the changing landscape of art writing, often framed as a crisis in criticism, has revolved around the question, ‘what is art criticism?’ Spaces for Criticism, edited by Pascal Gielen, asks instead, ‘where is art criticism?’”
Published by the Dutch press Valiz as part of their Antennae series, Spaces for Criticism features writing by Luc Boltanski, Sabeth Buchmann, and Robin Celikates, among others. I contributed an essay on the changing economy and practices around critical writing.
