Drawn Criticism: An Art Review in Pictures

Canadian artist and critic Sholem Krishtalka reviews a visceral Berlin art exhibition in 17 hand-drawn panels.

 

Note from the editor:

For the past three years, Canadian artist and critic Sholem Krishtalka has been documenting his life in the drawing project A Berlin Diary, available on Tumblr.

Now, in 17 hand-drawn panels, he documents his recent reflections on “Günter Brus: Zones of Disruption,” an exhibition at Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin.

This exhibition has a special resonance with Krishtalka’s work, as Austrian artist Brus often used his own body and image in his work as well.
