1.13 / Critical Mass

April 22, 2010. Art Practical not only strives to produce engaging and thought-provoking essays, but to encourage creative efforts, and think about what forms critical dialogue might take.  We hope to enable emerging writers to refine their practice amidst those already renowned for their critical insight. In this issue, contributor Lea Feinstein reflects on her writing practice—the questions she asks in coming to an understanding of a work of art—as a prelude to our two-part Critical Sources workshop, co-hosted by The Lab on May 1 and May 8. The workshop will focus on developing strategies for writing about art, and feature Bill Berkson, Whitney Chadwick, and Kevin Killian, among others. We hope you can join us; more info can be found on our News page. Enjoy! —PM.
