Today seems to be a watershed moment for quality, incisive arts criticism.
Artfag issue #20 also found its way out into the cold, harsh, confused world of arts writing today, with characteristic biting wit and hilariously apt commentary.

We wonder, ladies and gentlemen, if art folk will start talking about the Royal Art Lodge they way the rest of the world talks about boy-bands. Certainly, this metaphor occurred to us after we had taken a leisurely perambulation around Drue Langlois’s and Hollie Dzama’s new shows at Katharine Mulherin Contemporary Art Projects. Langlois seems to be Lance Bass to Marcel Dzama’s Justin Timberlake: still in the public eye, but fading fast, as opposed to his compatriot’s still stellar career arc. We’re not sure where this little metaphor of ours leaves Ms Dzama – as Jamie Lynn Spears, perhaps?
