On the Necessity of Comprehensive and Diverse Art Criticism in the Midwest

Elliot Reichert will speak about the need for comprehensive and diverse art criticism in Chicago and the greater Midwest, not only as a necessary form of public cultural discourse and a generative form of feedback among artists, but also as a first draft of the art history that will one day be written. He first wrote about this subject in 2016 in his article "399 Days in the Art World: Who Will Write Chicago's Art History?" for Newcity Art.
