It’s hilarious that something as mute as visual art should have such a fraught relationship with words. With art criticism, to be precise. Today, print is beleaguered, Instagram posts count for more than a New York Times review, and it’s fair to wonder whether ideas even matter in contemporary art. Could criticism be in crisis again? Of course, it is.
