Comment on Robert Pincus discussion of Art Criticism by Joe Nalven<br /><br />Constructive criticism to Robert Pincus on The Future of Art Criticism / Monday, July 29, 2013 <br /><br />The commentary by Robert Pincus on art criticism is an interesting point of departure for talking about art, art commentary, art criticism, art in storage spaces (like museums, galleries, and homes), curators, etc. etc.<br /><br /><br />“Art criticism” has not been around for a long time – maybe a few hundred years. And “museums” as a place to store art objects is also only a few hundred years old. See the Wiki article on Art Criticism.<br /><br />So, the evolution of institutional art (from the academia and the museums) continues. This is what Pincus’ commentary should evoke – after all, we have the worldwide net, cable TV, and we have American Idol and Comic Con. All of these impinge on what “art” is and can be in our post-post modern culture (and I don’t mean ‘culture’ as defined by the elites since I am a cultural anthropologist and speak from a much broader constituency of humans who makes art).<br /><br />What might “art criticism” look like if two artists were discussing art.<br /><br />Here is my two-part dialogue with Jim Bliesner following a presentation by Grant Kester (of the UCSD Art Department) at the Bronowski Art and Science Forum.<br /><br />Art Talk: Artist and Community - reinventing the art critic <br /><br />Part 1 (dialogue with Jim Bliesner) and Part 2 (dialogue with Jim Bliesner)<br /><br />Also, what about considering the evolution of the art paradigm. What might a broader art criticism look like that brought the times of Diego Velazquez (painting with a brush) forward to Francis Bacon (painting with all sorts of objects including a garbage can cover) to me (with my trusty digital toolsets)? Check out my dalliance in this arena: Reimagining Innocent<br /><br />The world of art is being reinvented by the worldwide web, by digital technology, by cable TV and by phenomena like American Idol.<br /><br />We deserve a robust art criticism that can carry the weight into the 21st century.
