A critical look at critical reviews of disabled artists

Sonia Boué, Disability Arts Online, 2020

Sonia Boué considers the role of criticism and ‘mainstream’ approval in the career development of neurodivergent artists, following her attendance at the Contested Spaces closing event at the Foundry, London on 9 January. The event consisted of a panel chaired by curator Aidan Moesby featuring Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA) curator Elinor Morgan, curator and founder of Jennifer Lauren Gallery Jennifer Gilbert and independent artist Ashok Mistry. It was followed by a performance by the artist Malgorzata Dawidek.
