Exit Interview

Professor of art and archaeology Hal Foster and Benjamin Buchloh, an art historian, engage in a critical discussion about the evolving landscapes in art history and criticism. Drawing from personal anecdotes, Buchloh shares insights gained across over 40 years of experience in the art and intellectual world. In a three-part conversation, the two explore the themes of politics and progress, differing conceptions of history, and the volatile state of criticism within the context of contemporary geopolitical and socioeconomic conditions. Exit Interview (MIT Press) invites readers from various disciplines in the humanities and social sciences to reflect critically on their own lived experiences.
