IMPULSE Forum: Smear Campaign

  • Spielzeug x 1 Day at a Time 131 Chrystie Street New York, NY, 10002 United States (map)

Join us at IMPULSE Forum x SPIELZEUG x 1 Day at a Time (131 Chrystie St) on Tuesday 10/14, competitive edition. RSVP for a FREE ticket here.

ISO hot takes, actually funny people, people who call it like it is, people who can strike pen to paper with emotional flair, and people who have read too much Baudrillard. We NEED you. The atrocity of TOYS! TOYS! TOYS! is fertile territory for a SMEAR CAMPAIGN.

But seriously, what is bad criticism? Recently, two critics aired their grievances on the topic. Now it’s your turn to put your word in on this ongoing debate. Is negative criticism good? We’re curious to find out.

HOMEWORK:

Sean Tatol, Negative Criticism (The Point)

Ben Davis, Is Art Criticism Today Too Affirming? That's the Wrong Question to Ask (artnet news)

Ben Davis, The ‘Quasi-Theological’ Turn in Art Criticism Is a Mirage Leading Us the Wrong Way (artnet news)
