“Talking about my generation”: 

Jill Johnston and the Critic as Subject

Critical Correspondence co-editors Aaron Mattocks and Marissa Perel honor the celebrated writer and critic Jill Johnston, whose experimental and personal voice communicated the culture of the interdisciplinary 1960s art scene. In light of Johnston’s innovative contributions to the form, this conversation considers contemporary criticism and the writer as subject. Speakers include David Velasco (critic for Artforum) and Claudia La Rocco (critic for the New York Times). The event culminates as Movement Research artists perform readings of reviews on dance and performance.
