Book Chapter
Who Is a Critic?
2023
Overview
Chapter 2 turns to the role of the artist-critic, analyzing how Yvonne Rainer redesigned the apparatus of dance criticism and used her publications in the 1960s and 1970s to justify a different set of aesthetic criteria. At the same time, these criteria protected the perpetuation of whiteness as an aesthetic value that Martin established in the New York Times and solidified a lineage of postmodern dance that continues to be reproduced in textbooks and taught in history courses. This chapter places the “innovations” of white Judson artists alongside an analysis of postmodernism by Cornel West and research by Brenda Dixon Gottschild, and asks why performances by Black artists such as James Brown and Cholly Atkins are often ignored in discussions of postmodern dance.
