Shower of Kunst: February 2016

Shower of Kunst is a critical online journal founded in 2009. We believe in developing a strong and healthy discourse and community.

Recognising the vacuum that exists in Irish visual arts writing, our goal is to challenge the prevalent mode of art criticism. We place a strong emphasis on the political and embrace an approach to reviewing that is more akin to the academic critique. We are not interested in the default position of arts writing as essentially advertising copy for the artist and gallery, i.e. the conventional positive read of the artists intentions dressed loosely in philosophy. But instead offer a candid gaze that asks questions and makes suggestions.

Responsibility for the information and views set out in this website lies entirely with the author(s).
