The critic as a follower of Michurin
Laima Kreivytî
The article is based on a paper given at the conference organized by the Lithuanian chapter of A.I.C.A. titled "The Crisis of Art Criticism - the Way of Its Existence". To be a critic these days is much better than being an artist. He (the artist) still thinks that he is producing art, but in fact all the art has become an applied one. It is applied to the format of biennial and taste of its curator, international conjecture, fashionable themes and political correctness. Or controversially - it is applied to decorative Satanism and stylish social critique (you can bite if you please). And finally - to the technology of mediating information. But can we in fact speak about the crisis of criticism? - asks the author.
