“McDonough believes that there was a time when were convinced that the role of criticism was to advance culture. "Now, instead of moving culture ahead, its about finding a group of people you can promote. They promote that work not because they think its the most important work being made or because its a do or die issue, but because its a little corner they can own. Not that I havent found my own niche as well and mined it for all its fucking worth. Im not excluding myself from this tenure seeking game. ”
