Judgment and Contemporary Art Criticism

February 27 – 28, 2009 / Fillip and Artspeak are pleased to present Judgment and Contemporary Art Criticism, a two-day forum on the present state art criticism. Contextualized by a reading room
and a series of seminars, the forum will result in a book-length publication of papers and conversations to be co-published by Artspeak and Fillip in late 2009.

Over the course of the past decade, we have seen unrelenting levels of market speculation in contemporary and historical art at the same moment that global conflict and war has escalated and world economies have begun to crumble. Concurrent to these developments, there has been a new wave of interest directed toward the efficacy and function of art criticism. Judgment and Contemporary Art Criticism will engage with many of the key issues coming out of these conversations, specifically returning to the role of judgment and valuation in contemporary art writing.

Forum and seminar speakers include: Jo-Anne Birnie-Danzker, Jeff Derksen, Diedrich Diederichsen, Sylvie Fortin, Maria Fusco, Markus Miessen, Tom Morton, William Wood, and Tirdad Zolghadr.
