Review Quotes
Choice
“Daichendt begins with a challenging query that frames the entire structure of his subsequent arguments: ‘What does it mean to be a scholar in the visual arts?’ Universities typically confer the MFA degree on graduate students who produce exhibitions of art objects. Increasingly, though, academic pressure requires more, i.e. a piece of scholarship. This, this volume, in an attempt to address the demands of writing and object-making, offers seven chapters and two appendices on various aspects of these topics. . . . Recommended.”
