Giulia Zompa: art criticism is transforming, not dying

Art critic and historian Giulia Zompa argues that art criticism is not dead but undergoing a transformation. She notes that militant criticism no longer exists, yet many still yearn for it. The precarity of the system, market dependence, and lack of autonomous spaces have made radical critique difficult. Zompa calls for a cultural revolution that restores synergy between critic and artist, and recognizes critical thinking as an essential, paid practice. Without this shift, criticism will remain marginal. The piece is edited by Caterina Angelucci and published on Artribune.
