HOW CRITICAL IS THE CONDITION OF CRITICAL WRITING?<\/strong>
\nSeries of public lectures<\/p>\n

Critical reflection of curatorial practices and the complex relationship between theory and practice in the field of contemporary art are the constant problem fields of public lectures in the context of the World of Art, School for Curators and Critics of Contemporary Art.<\/p>\n

With the 2015 World of Art educational programme, we are addressing changes that have taken place in artistic and, above all, critical writing. We will turn our focus onto the condition and status of contemporary critical writing in the field of art and culture. Our starting point is the notion that while art criticism is a vital part of the artistic ecosystem, without which art cannot fulfil its social or cultural function in the full sense, the crisis in art criticism today is nevertheless undeniable. Art criticism has all but disappeared from newspaper columns and the role of the art critic seems vague, robbed its (historic) relevance and overshadowed by the figure of the curator. At the same time, the Internet has allowed for the democratisation of cultural production \u2013 and so everyone who has access to it can have a voice, everyone can have a blog and everyone can be a critic.<\/p>\n

Art criticism\u2019s crisis of identity affects how we have come to think about its role and function. The goal of this series of public lectures and workshops is to examine and evaluate the nature of the crisis in art criticism and to identify what has changed and why, what are the present tasks of art critics and what new approaches could be suggested. To be able to do this, we need to review some of the cultural, economic, social and technological factors that have contributed to the current condition. The possible questions with which we will be dealing are: What are the (historical, etc.) conditions of the crisis in art criticism? What was additionally triggered by the rejection of judgment in art criticism that took place at the turn of 21st century? What is the relation between institutional critique and art criticism? How shall we think art criticism in the digital era and these times of social networking? What are the broader implications of the apparent obsolescence of art criticism in the present? How is this related to the condition and status of critical thought in general? Does the fact that art criticism is decaying mean that our historical moment is \u201cpost-critical\u201d? Or is it that art criticism today has simply extended and shifted into the hands of different players \u2013 curators, art institutions, theoreticians, artists …?<\/p>\n
