Elizabeth Schambelan on criticism - Artforum International
Criticism is not some inscrutable, mysterious process. It’s just a matter of: (1) noticing ourselves responding to a work of art, moment by moment, and (2) getting better at articulating that response.
from A Swim in a Pond in the Rain: From the Man Booker Prize-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
- Criticism, to me, is ultimately a practice of paying attention.
from "Taste Hierarchies Like These Stink" by Anne Helen Petersen
Keely Adler and added
- At its best, cultural criticism is love and art that exists to give love to other expressions of art. It's beautiful in its indulgence.
from The prestige recession by Yancey Strickler
