Summary:

"The objective of both the lecture series “The Future or the Eclipse of Criticism” presented at the MAXXI Museum in Rome, and the eponymous symposium which took place at the University of Pisa’s School of Engineering was to identify those figures, exhibitions, publication projects, and paradigmatic constructions that have either supported or directed particular critical approaches. But before calling into question the future of criticism, the contributors asked each other whether and how it could still play a role in society. In fact, in a cultural landscape stuck between the horizontality of social media and the verticality of powerful cultural institutions, research centers, think tanks, museums, and biennials, the heroic figure of the critic has been replaced by the more appealing one of the architectural journalist and curator."-- Provided by publisher.
