Compiled for the first time here, the critic, artist, gallerist, dealer, translator John Kelseys selected essays gamesomely convey some of the most poignant challenges in the art world and in the many social roles it creates. When the critic chooses to become a smuggler, a hack, a cook, or an artist, Kelsey said at a 2007 conference at the St delschule in Frankfurt am Main, its maybe because criticism as such remains tied to an outmoded social relation. It is precisely this relation that Kelsey intends to not only critique but also to surpass. In this way, Kelseys Rich Texts play the double role of explaining the art world and actively participating in it; they close the distance between the work of art and how we talk about it. Originally published in Artforum--where Kelsey is a contributing editor--Texte zur Kunst, Parkett, and various artists catalogues, the essays compiled in Rich Texts have all been written over the last decade, and therefore embody a timeliness that strikes at the core of the contemporary art world and the crises that have come to define it.Institut f r Kunstkritik Series
