On Crits and Games—and Crits as Games

KEC: With the Krabstadt Education Center we want to think of arts education and its infrastructure in a way that allows for playful and experimental tactics and methods. Your latest film project is made using live-action role-play to construct a group critique situation in an art and film school. Our first question is: What is a “crit” for you?

SS: The crit class might be an enigma to people who have never been to art school. Put in the most simplified way, a crit is a situation in which a student shares their work and in return receives feedback from their fellow students and teacher. It is a central, and dominant, pedagogical structure in contemporary arts education. Despite it being a dominant framework for learning in art school, I find it has not been thoroughly reshaped in accordance with the current political questions crucial to educating artists today.

[...]

SS: As a student I was baffled by the “group crit experience,” because any discussion on why and how we do crits was absent. It was a hierarchical situation in which the professors had the power to either boost or bust students’ work. The educational environment did to a minor degree help me understand my own and my fellow students’ work, but the meaning was mostly created through professors’ gaze. So given this entangled power dynamics, I am increasingly interested in asking “What is a crit?” prior to conducting one. This leads me to ask: Does your definition of a “crit” differ from mine, and how do you structure your crit class?
