“IF YOU WANT TO BE AN ICON OF VIRTUE, THIS IS THE MOMENT BECAUSE YOU’LL STAND OUT”
Dave Hickey
29.10.07
The question of how to sell without selling out is especially relevant in the contemporary art world and there are few people better qualified to grapple with this thorny topic than Dave Hickey. Not only is he Professor of English at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Hickey is also one of America’s best known art and cultural critics, admired for his aversion to academicism and his robust analysis of the effects on art of the rough and tumble of the free market. Last month he delivered a keynote speech at Frieze: “Schoolyard art: playing fair without the referee.”
The lecture is available as a podcast, and a transcript (unformatted right now, but hopefully not for long) is after the elevation.

I can only hope this actually gets built.
