| Check out Art Fag City for a Q&A I did with curator Lisa Myers. This is my first post at AFC. The series is called Report from the Academy. Blogging can be fraught for academics because they are understandably proprietorial about their research, and many bloggers have a hate-on for academics because they sometimes use terrible jargon. Academics have the luxury of not needing to be up-to-minute with all the latest news, and they have permission to really sink into an idea or topic, and examine issues that aren't part of the artworld buzz. But blogging needs to be short and sweet and footnotes are generally frowned on. I like the tension of trying to straddle both worlds. The interview with Lisa is about her curatorial approach to power (among other things). Next month I'll be talking to Patrick Macaulay from Harbourfront Centre. After that, I'm going to nerd out on some art & science theory. Many thanks to Paddy for the opportunity! And especially thanks to Lisa for her patience, generosity and hard work in putting this first interview together. |
