What happens when art criticism refuses its own framework?
In 1969, art critics Jill Johnston and Carla Lonzi independently abandoned the field of art criticism in the USA and Italy. Their gestures did not mark an end, but the emergence of new forms of feminist, political, and social critique — resonances that continue to shape critical thought today.
This edition of Crit Cross features a presentation by Frida Sandström, drawing on her PhD thesis Dropout Subjects. Jill Johnston’s and Carla Lonzi’s Disintegration and Deculturalization of Art Criticism as Social Critique in 1969 (2025).
