Eyewitness News: Now on Video!


So, you want to see what we were talking about at the Southern Graphics Council Conference? You can flip over to Tyler's Printmaking Department website for video of the talks. (The text of the introductions appears in this post).

Would love to hear what you think...especially since we're gearing up for another one at Virginia Commonwealth University as part of the SECAC and MACCA conference, Curiouser.

Criticism...continued

A little more stuff on criticism I just wanted to toss up here. First, there's A.O. Scott's piece on film criticism in today's Times. There's also this very interesting piece where two critics, Christopher Isherwood and Alastair Macaulay, talk about a dance piece by Twyla Tharp. It's one of those rare pieces where a critic gets exasperated and says what he thinks his job is...enjoy.
