article of interest and interesting

i just read this really interesting article by art historian/visual culture/academic Irit Rogoff. here's the link:

http://www.kein.org/node/62

it is quite long but i reccommend persevering - it made me full of verve and vigour for TAC activities.

basically, Rogoff is writing as an advocate for what has now become known as 'Visual Culture', an academic discipline which has splintered away from Art History. well, she is kind of an advocate for it but recognises the term as mainly for convenience. Rogoff about the disintergration of distinctions between artist/theorists/critics/curators/audience - which is a way in which I often see TAC functioning - and for "a field of complex and growing entanglements that can never be transliated back to originary or constitutive components."

it's worth a read it you have time. i'd be interested to know what you think.
