A new blog has appeared on the blogsphere called “Critiquing the Critic.” This project is founded by performance artist Thom Scullion and is a very promising platform from which we can both protest the dominance of mainstream critics and challenge it with new, fresh perspectives. I think with the exception of the Edinburgh Fringe no one but the individual occupiers of the arts sector care or give much credence to critics and their noisy stars. So we need to change the way it’s made, distributed, and how it impacts the future of our work in Scotland.
