Site Writing: The Architecture of Art Criticism explores the sites of the critic's engagement with art û material, emotional, political and conceptual. Through five different spatial configurations Site-Writing encounters artworks by artists as diverse as Jananne Elina Brotherus, Nathan Coley, Tracey Emin, Cristina Iglesias and Do-Ho Suh. Each one investigates the psychic qualities and architectural dimensions of a particular spatial condition, namely the transitional space of the setting, the frontier between conscious, preconscious and unconscious, the rearrangement of words and things, the folded memory of dTja vu, and the decentring device of the Copernican revolution.<BR><BR>Site-Writing configures what happens when discussions concerning situatedness and site-specificity extend to involve art criticism, and the spatial qualities of writing become as important in conveying meaning as the content of the criticism. The book suggests that in operating as a mode of practice in its own right this kind of criticism questions the terms of reference that relate the critic to the work positioned 'under' critique, and instead proposes alternative positions. This process of configuration writes the sites between critic, work and artist, as well as critic, text and reader, and in so doing constructs an architecture of art criticism.
