Developing Criticism: Interpretation/ Judgment. Held at La Fonda Hotel

October 27th - October 30th


This international first of its kind event will feature discussions and roundtable talks by critics Donald Kuspit, Dave Hickey, Janet Koplos, Moyra Elliot, Garth Clark and others. The symposium examines criticism in art and sculpture, before exploring criticism as it applies to clay. Contemporary critical practice will require a dialogue of many voices. This symposium is organized to encourage interaction, dialogue and response to the featured presentations. Recognizing the need to engage all aspects of the field, the invited presenters include critics, educators, artists, gallery owners, writers, students, editors, collectors and patrons. Many Santa Fe galleries will host exhibitions of works by guest artists on Friday, October 29. One critic from the symposium will each visit one gallery to discuss the work displayed.
