Museums are laying off staff, theaters pausing seasons. And the NEA spent years funding bureaucratic equity plans instead of anything lasting. In @thedispatch, I argue for a better path: a cultural accelerator to help artists found real institutions. thedispatch.com/article/arts-i…

I had too much fun on the Who Versus podcast in a freewheeling discussion with Phil Reboli and James Holland. Among other things, we discussed Brutalism, the movie The Brutalist (which I found brutalizing), deconstructivism, Art Deco, and the historic urban plans that have guided…
Pierre d’Alancaisez (@verdur_in) is simply the best art critic that is, in the UK & beyond. A visionary in his work, diagnosis and remedies alike, who will help us leave the art world behind without abandoning the arts. A great prospect for the most civilised magazine in…

Completely agree! The only way to break through this cultural stagnation is by cultivating creative hubs where genuine Art can flourish again. This is how we rebuild an authentic, rooted culture, one that honours the past while boldly envisioning the future. Absolutely crucial.…
Fantastic proposal by Fisher Derderian, to build an incubator for art organizations, seeing that the current ones have lost all touch with its original purpose. The methods, the funding, the people, the examples, are all there: "The point of such a proposal is to build…
