Please join us for a multipart discussion around the current state and future prospects for arts publishing—from the changing role of criticism, to issues of audience and funding, to the emergence of alternative models. Featuring Ben Davis, Brian Droitcour, Alison McDonald, Dean Kissick, Jessica Lynne, and Reilly Davidson.
Moderated by Julia Halperin and Hunter Braithwaite
1:00pm: Art Criticism… Why?
What does criticism look like these days? Who writes it, who reads it, and why?
3:00pm: New Models
In exploring new publishing models, what are we looking for? How can corporate and philanthropic support energize discourse? How can we connect with new audiences?
