Critique has long been a central concept within art practice and
theory. Since the emergence of Conceptual Art, artists have been
expected by critics, curators, and art school faculty to focus
their work on exposing and debunking ideologies of power and
domination. Recently, however, the effectiveness of cultural
critique has come into question. The appearance of concepts such as
the "speculative," the "reparative," and the "constructive"
suggests an emerging postcritical paradigm. Beyond Critique takes
stock of the current discourse around this issue. With some calling
for a renewed criticality and others rejecting the model entirely,
the book's contributors explore a variety of new and recently
reclaimed criteria for contemporary art and its pedagogy. Some
propose turning toward affect and affirmation; others seek to
reclaim such allegedly discredited concepts as intimacy,
tenderness, and spirituality. With contributions from artists,
critics, curators and historians, this book provides new ways of
thinking about the historical role of critique while also exploring
a wide range of alternative methods and aspirations. Beyond
Critique will be a crucial tool for students and instructors who
are seeking to think and work beyond the critical.
