About

I write about the pressing problems of art during the 1960s in terms of earlier developments, contemporary practices, and later implications, and am especially interested in how and why the ambitions and debates of this era continue to be relevant. Of particular concern to me is the question, "What makes art credible?"

I have been a professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago since 2000, and teach seminars on Minimalism, Pop, Postminimalism, Vito Acconci, Rosalind Krauss, Jackson Pollock, Michael Fried, and "feedback" in installation, performance, and video.

My book, Donald Judd, was published by Yale in November 2010 and a Phaidon Press monograph on Richard Serra will follow in 2011.
