MFA Art Practice presents a talk by art writer Ben Davis, author of 9.5 Theses on Art and Class (Haymarket, 2013), which ARTnews named one of the best art books of the decade in 2019, and Art in the After-Culture (Haymarket, 2022).


Davis has been Artnet News’s national art critic since 2016. His writings have also been featured in The New York Times, New York Magazine, The Baffler, Jacobin, Slate, Salvage, e-Flux Journal, Frieze and many other venues. In 2019, Nieman Journalism Lab reported that Davis was one of the most influential art critics in the United States. Davis currently lives in Brooklyn.
