Every year, apexart holds a competition of sorts. What makes it different and really wonderful is that the curatorial proposals can be submitted by anyone regardless of their status in the so-called art world. And likewise, the people judging the curatorial proposals are not professional curators. Some of the jurors are students just like you. I've been a juror for years. It's actually really fun.
Today in class we'll read together and rate 10 of these proposals. We will see examples of wonderful writing and also dreadful writing. Most of the writing won't be either extreme. This exercise will help to sharpen your writing skills for your Whitney Biennial catalog entry. You will notice that social and political ideas are often central to current art writing.
