“Ten  Things I Hate About Contemporary Art“

Central Library

November 13 at 7 p.m.

Tyler Green will discuss contemporary visual art and the artists who create it. Green edits and writes Modern Art Notes (MAN), the most-read blog about visual art. “This is my chronicle of my thoughts of and passions for modern and contemporary art. It’s updated pretty much every weekday, and occasionally on weekends when something particularly irks or emboldens me.”

He also writes regularly for numerous magazines. In 2005 the Wall Street Journal called MAN “the most influential of all visual arts blogs.” Two years later the WSJ said, “You won’t find a better-informed art writer than Tyler Green.” In 2008 the Washington Post named Green one of the capital’s “young and influential” arts figures.

Green attended the University of Missouri, where he majored in journalism. He is a member of the United States section of the International Association of Art Critics (AICA). Green was born in San Mateo, Calif., and lives in Washington, DC.
