Crit Cross – A Forum On Art Criticism // IN ENGLISH

After engaging with the American South in our last Crit Cross, where Verein K talked to Jasmine Amussen, editor of Burnaway magazine about inclusivity in art writing and creating context for art where there is none, this Crit Cross looks to the European East, with Tjaša Pogačar from Šum, based in Slovenia. Šum is a journal and a platform focusing on contemporary art and theory, established in 2013 by artists and theorists. The conversation, facilitated by Klaus Speidel, could focus on theory-fiction, the form of writing exemplified by Šum, which happens, as Tjaša Pogačar explains, «alongside art» rather than being «about art» like traditional art criticism, as well as collective editing and the wider context of art criticism and art writing.
