Track Changes: A Handbook for Art Criticism

Critics who prioritize social, ideological, or political concerns
are often admonished for “having an agenda.” But judgments are
never neutral, and writers who articulate their commitments can
productively heighten the stakes and impact of criticism. In Track
changes: a handbook for art criticism, twenty-five art writers
and editors share strategies for critical writing and editing that
encourage solidarity and reparative decision-making to actively
challenge structural inequalities within the art world. Designed
as a practical guide to the editorial process, this collection includes case studies, conversations, manifestos, and reflections
on technical and ethical choices. Track changes is a rigorous and
supportive guide to art criticism—a mentor in book form.
