Dave Hickey The Good Ennui at SVA Part III

James Kalm has been a fan of Dave Hickey for years. The polemical Hickey has received a MacArthur Genius Grant, and used his ideas and prestige to establish a creative enclave at the University of Nevada at Los Vegas. Hes a provocative commentator on contemporary art, an essayist delving into deconstructivist theory, and a correspondent chronicling the American scene who melds the breadth of Mark Twain with the ultra-hipness of Hunter S. Thomson. This lecture was delivered at the School of Visual Arts September 17, 2009. Part three of four.

Wonderful Speech!

I am not crazy about Dave Hickey because I think he states the obvious ("any work of art that complies with the canon is just nit there"). BUT, I think it would be a scandal to remove these videos from YouTube. Keep up the good work James.
