Where I live the some old artists get hyped and the emerging ones are given no support, in the way of critique, when they do manage to sneak into a show. Almost like the critics don't know what to say about a new entity! I keenly await Hickey’s AiA articles every month.

If not, why? Critics determine who rises, who gets ahead. Could they be as wrong, as misguided as Greenspan, and his fat resume? no disrespect to the speaker and his accomplishments, but the integrity part — would more be found in art than in finance?

Yeah, I guess you could, if you were so inclined, call MacArthur Fellow, multiple book author, Art in America columnist, and generally accepted art-world genius Dave Hickey just "someone" who bleats... “someone bleating about integrity in art…”

Explain to me again why it's the critic's job to "serve the artist"? CB, you should have a blog, if you don't already... Hm. Explain to me again why it’s the critic’s job to “serve the artist”?

We real artists ought to perhaps rush this generation of career hypesters to die out of the busines? Then maybe the new kids in wings can come on and trash all the crud that the current generation has allowed to fill our galleries and museums. Sounds like history always repeats it self. Odd to see you appreciate "brutallity in Art". jrl chicano artist de minnesota Some of the more serious artists gave up waiting for “critics” to risk their careers and really write criticism that served the artist by clearing the bush to allow the real art to grow.
