Jake Chapman and Suhail Milik: No More Art
T0
Have the noisy celebrations of art over the last ten years obscured the truth that the category 'art' harms more than it helps - and that culture's intellectual energies are more likely to be found in quantum physics than in art criticism? Artist Jake Chapman and Suhail Malik, lecturer in visual arts at Goldsmiths, reflect on art and criticism now. Is it time to explode the routines of criticism which has tended to play the role of social worker to its deserving but ailing client, 'art'? This is the first in a series of talks, exploring the paradox that the perceived energy of art in the 90s was not accompanied by a vital art criticism, and asks if the role of criticism has been usurped by the curator or the TV pundit?
