1 Fogies, Insiders and Press Release Summarisers : Art Criticism in Australia Susan Best , 2016 single work column
— Appears in: The Conversation , 7 November 2016;
'What is the state of art criticism in Australia? The short answer is that it is desultory. Guided by stock responses and assumptions, Australian art criticism rarely helps viewers understand the challenges of new work. ...'
1 1 Driving Like a Boy : Sexual Difference, Embodiment and Space Susan Best , 1999 single work criticism
— Appears in: Imagining Australian Space : Cultural Studies and Spatial Inquiry 1999; (p. 93-101)
This essay argues that 'a culturally produced , individually lived, intersubjective spaciality is the condition of human life'. Best uses a feminist study by Iris Marion Young on female ball throwing to discuss how the use of space differs between men and women and concludes that a revaluing of the differences would be beneficial to both women and men.
