Art criticism today

• Does the art critic have a future in a globalized and technological world, where thought has been replaced by opinion?
• Art criticism seems inseparable from the dictates of capitalism and the culture industry. We have normalized that museum directors, curators and critics encourage "consuming culture" by pulling prescribers, influencers and copywriters.
• The figure of the independent critic has been relegated by the impositions of the market, and there are only two options left to him or her; either to bow to the practice of influencer marketing or to become a cultural kamikaze condemned to ostracism.
• Marisol Salanova makes accessible an endogamic and closed environment, breaking down myths and magical auras with the aim of exposing the functioning of current artistic creation, as well as the dynamics of the market. It also shows how trends or fame are generated and destroyed, and what the critic's job should be.
