Great --- all four parts are amazing James. I love Hickey's thoughts, even though I would disagree on some points. Keep the videos up if possible. (I nabbed 'em --- so could pop then up elsewhere wher you wouldn't be responsible ---)

I think this video should remain. Mr. Hickey is challenging the ones "who care". A very important implication. His ideas threaten the status quo. Do NOT take this down.

I just read what Charlie Finch had to say about this video. DAMN! Talk about vicious.

Thanks so much for posting this. I wanted to go to this lecture but couldn't attend unfortunately. I'd think SVA would be happy to have this up as it'll draw attention to their great open lecture series, the school itself and Hickey's essays.

Hi James- I just want to let you know that I just called and left a message for Michael Grant at his office at SVA. I requested that they reconsider their position. Anybody else that would like to call him can do so at 212.592.2011. Thanks for posting the entire lecture James.

Dear Viewers,

James Kalm has been contacted by Michael Grant, Director of Communications at the School of Visual Arts, and he requests that this series of Dave Hickey videos be removed. Please post a comment, your recommendation, or let Mr. Grant know your feeling regarding this mater,

thanks,

James Kalm

Thnx for Dave - wonderful stuff.

Fuck Hickey, he's a white imperialist who agrees with Kant on aesthetics. Amelia Jones in "Aesthetics in a Multicultural Age" pretty much eviscerated Hickey's arguments that beauty, as normatively defined in paintings throughout European history, is self-evident.
