With the conclusion of the Zine project, we have reached the end of the first unit of the class:
1. "Self" is over.
2. "Community" is now.
3. "World" is the last third of the class.
Let's talk about writing about the work of other people. Our first case study is the art writing of John Yau. You can find lots of examples of his writing at the website Hyperallergic. He mainly writes art reviews. What is an art review? How do they work? How can you write a successful review? We will address all of these questions in our new unit.
For class on Monday, February 26, read a selection of John Yau's reviews published by Hyperallergic. There are dozens of them. Find one that you like and be ready to discuss it in class. I will call on you, so be prepared. After you do this, read this essay about Yau's approach to art writing. We will be discussing this in class next week.
