There are three major afflictions in writing about art today, in our contemporary, that this workshop will redress:

Artists know better than anyone else why and what they are practicing but struggle to articulate this in their artist statements;

Curators know better than anyone else why and what they are exhibiting but struggle to articulate this in their wall texts, catalogue entries, and grant proposals; and,

Critics know better than anyone else why and what art and exhibitions they are writing about but tend to default to pure description or obsequiousness, whether writing for galleries, museums, exhibition publications, academically or journalistically.
