The Value of Critique casts its gaze on the two dominant modes of
passing judgment in art--critique and value (or evaluation). The
act of critique has long held sway in the world of art theory but
has recently been increasingly abandoned in favor of evaluation,
which advocates alternate modes of judgment aimed at finding the
intrinsic "value" of a given work rather than picking apart its
intentions and relative success. This book's contributors explore
the relationship between these two practices, finding that one
cannot exist with the other. As soon as a critic decides an object
is worthy enough of their interest and time to critique it, they
have imbued that object with a certain value. Similarly, theories
of value are typically marked by a critical impetus: as much as
critique takes part in the construction of evaluations, bestowing
something with value can then trigger critiques. Assembling essays
from an international array of authors, this book is the first to
put value, critique, and artistic labor in conversation with one
another, making clear just how closely all three are related.
