About
This blog is a kind of sandpit for exhibition reviews and spontaneous reports from Moscow, where I have lived for the last five years. As someone who suffers under chronic writer’s block, I want to try to keep most of this stuff as simple as possible.
About me: I’m David Riff, art critic, translator, and member of Chto delat, a platform for engaged creativity. I’ve been living in Moscow for the last five years. Aside from translating an unbelievable amount of text (mostly arts-related), I’ve written extensively about Moscow artists, and also made a project called the Karl Marx School of the English Language…
I David, I´ve really enjoyed what you wrote on Gursky and Alimpiev. I sort of do what do you but in a different corner of the world! Been expecting to read some more from you but I guess you are goin´through that writer´s block thing… Anyway, here´s a tipp: I would love to read your thoughts about what went on with the “Imaginary Coordinates” exhibition at the Spertus Museum in Chicago. Just wrote something about it myself.
Best, L
