Panel | Art Criticism and Publishing with Bice Curiger, Hal Foster, Michelle Kuo, and Hrag Vartanian, moderated by Nikki Columbus

Fri Apr 7 2017, 7:00pm

Detail from Christian Jankowski Reads Parkett, 2007–8.

In preparation for Parkett‘s final issue, please join us at Swiss Institute for a discussion on the past, present, and future of art criticism and publishing.

Established in 1984 and based in Zurich and New York, Parkett developed a unique mode of collaborating with artists: producing portfolios of essays to explore different aspects of an artist’s work, accompanied by limited editions. Thirty-three years later, how has art publishing changed? What are the various merits and limitations of emerging platforms, and how have they affected criticism?

Please RSVP to rsvp@swissinstitute.net.

Speakers include Bice Curiger, cofounder and editor-in-chief of Parkett and artistic director of the Fondation Vincent Van Gogh, Arles; Hal Foster, coeditor of October and Townsend Martin ’17 Professor of Art and Archaeology, Princeton University; Michelle Kuo, editor-in-chief of Artforum; and Hrag Vartanian, founder and editor-in-chief of Hyperallergic. The discussion will be moderated by Nikki Columbus, executive editor of Parkett.
