Texts on art: the secret experiments

One could talk about art and one could write about it. Newspaper review, an essay in the magazine, press release, announcement in the news, artist monograph, art detective story, diploma work and dissertation, a post in LJ or Facebook status – all are the variations of the same thing, text. The two basic ingredients of the ‘text’ are the author’s opinion and the informative, factual content, but the two can be mixed at the author’s judgement. The recipes for creating an art text is being shared this autumn by experienced art critics, journalists, bloggers and art historians. This master class is dedicated to the press release, its informative function and how often it is misleading. Art and text are inextricably linked, and never more so than today.
