January 25, 2025, 11:30AM ET
Virtual Event
As part of the Art Critic Fellowship Program, AICA-USA presents the Workshop Series offering four lectures led by award-winning editors and writers to discuss the joys and concerns of writing and editing art criticism today. The lecture portion is open and free to the public. The Q&A session is offered to Art Critic Fellows.
Sky Goodden draws on over a decade of experience as a publisher, editor, and critic, to discuss the tenets of writer-led art publishing and editorial care. What makes editing collaborative? What are the mainstays of coaxing originality, clarity, and meaning-making from a text? How do we protect critical courage? And when working with writers from regions that are too often left out of contemporary art conversations, what should we be looking out for, and providing?
Sky Goodden is the founding publisher of Momus, an international art publication, podcast, and mentorship platform for art writing and criticism. Goodden has published in numerous catalogues, art books, and publications including Frieze, Art in America, C Magazine, and Art21, among others. She is based in Montreal.
