Last week, Douglas Crimp spent some time in our department. It was wonderful, as if my brain had gotten a spring cleaning. I'd like to write some extensive notes on his visit, but that's going to take a little thinking. For the moment I'll just quote one tiny bit of his "Getting the Warhol We Deserve" (available here), an expert defense of a cultural studies approach to art history:
What is at stake is not history per se, which is a fiction in any case, but what history, whose history, history to what purpose.
Exactly. What a guy.
