"For his 1966 work 'Critic,' Les Levine made a video projection with two-minute clips of art critics sharing their thoughts on contemporary criticism. In the years following its only public screening (at New York University's Loeb Student Center on March 7, 1967) the work's video component was lost. But the audio survives, and this publication presents, for the first time a transcript of the work." --from the preface.
