Art Criticism in Chicago: Past, Present, Future
@ SAIC Ballroom
112 South Michigan Avenue
Opening Tuesday, November 22nd, from 6PM - 8PM
Organized in memory of distinguished art critics Kathryn Hixson and Polly Ullrich (both SAIC faculty and alumni who passed away in the last year), this wide-ranging investigation into the challenges and triumphs in art writing in Chicago also honors the publication this month of The Essential New Art Examiner (Northern Illinois University Press), a compendium of essays originally printed in the most significant Chicago-based art publication of its era (1973-2002).
The panel will move forward from that to assess the current state of art criticism in Chicago, both print- and web-based, and analyze the rapidly changing milieu for arts conversation in Chicago.
Panelists:
Kathryn Born (Chicago Art Magazine) and Terri Griffith (SAIC faculty), editors of the The Essential New Art Examiner
Jason Foumberg (Newcity)
Abraham Ritchie (ArtSlant: Chicago)
Steve Ruiz (The Visualist and ArtSlant: Chicago)
Lori Waxman (Chicago Tribune)
Ann Wiens (former editor, New Art Examiner)
Moderator: James Yood (former editor, New Art Examiner)
