Review Panel

Last Tuesday, ArtCritical hosted a Review Panel at the Brooklyn Public Library. Editor publisher David Cohen moderated the discussion with guest critics Jessica Bell Brown, Jarrett Earnest and David Salle. Two exhibitions were the focus, each sprawling with artists: the 2018 Triennial: Songs for Sabotage at the New Museum and
the 2018 Invitational Exhibition of Visual Arts at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City. It was interesting to witness opinions sift the differences between the two exhibitions, one curated with a heavy hand, the other not... one featuring younger artists, the other older with deep experience... one starkly political -yet unconvincing- and the other seemingly unpolitical -yet the audience seemed altogether deeply impressed by an emergent socio-political/cultural content.

I took notes...
