Expect pop, theory, critique, and the insights of madness from artists, writers, and other arts practitioners with strong views about the present and its place in history – we even promise to leave the arguments in.

Tea Hačić-Vlahović & Travis Diehl: The Secrets of Success

Q: So how does one become a critic?
The guest explains a path through formal art education, early writing experiences, and evolving practice, with an emphasis on staying embedded in the social and art scenes to understand what people are thinking and talking about, rather than just producing isolated reviews.
