Gillick drops the term “post-critical” in this essay/ lecture, but he’s referring more to a general trend that has manifested itself in art as a movement away from journal-style criticism towards always-compromised curatorial practice. Towards the end, he goes more into architecture specifically. Overall, the piece seems like something of a provocation for directing experimental, critical, curatorial energy at boring old stuff like subway art, corporate plazas, etc. instead of writing them off because they’re outside of proper art discourse.
I wasn’t sure whether to put this into the post-critical architecture issue or not. Thoughts? Also, my scanner broke on the last page so it’s missing 1.5 of the endnotes.
