Richard Milazzo is a critic, curator, publisher, independent scholar and poet from New York City. In the 1970s, he was the editor and co-publisher of Out of London Press. He is the co-founding publisher and editor of Edgewise Press. In the 1980s, under the rubric of Collins & Milazzo, he co-curated numerous Collins & Milazzo Exhibitions and co-wrote with Tricia Collins essays on art and art theory. [1]
Richard Milazzo is a graduate of McBurney School and Franklin and Marshall College. In the 1970s, he earned an M.A. for his thesis on Ezra Pound’s Cantos at City College of New York. [2] [3] [4] [5]
He is the editor of Edgewise Press, a small press art publication house founded by Milazzo [6] [7] in 1995. It maintains editorial offices in New York and Paris and is dedicated to publishing small, uniformly packaged, paperback books on art criticism, art theory, [8] aesthetics, philosophy, fiction and poetry. [9] [10]
Since 1982, he has worked internationally as a critic and curator in the art world. In the early 1980s, he co-published and co-edited Effects : Magazine for New Art Theory [11] in the East Village. [12]
Among the many publications of those years were Radical Consumption and the New Poverty (New York: New Observations, 1987); Art at the End of the Social (Malmö, Sweden: The Rooseum, 1988); and Hyperframes: A Post-Appropriation Discourse in Art, the lectures they delivered as Senior Critics at Yale University in 1988 and 1989. [13] They were reissued in an Italian edition by Campanotto Editore in Udine in 2005. In 2014 Milazzo authored the book Peter Nagy: Entertainment Erases History (Works 1982 to 2004 to the Present) for Eisbox Projects. [14]
The idea of neo-conceptual art (sometimes later termed post-conceptual art) articulated by Tricia Collins and Richard Milazzo in the early 1980s in New York City, [15] brought to prominence a new generation of artists through their copious writings and curatorial activities. It was their exhibitions and writings that originally fashioned the theoretical context for a new kind of neo (or post) conceptual art; one that argued simultaneously against Neo-Expressionism and The Pictures Generation. [16] It was through this context that the work of many of the artists associated with Neo-Conceptualism (or what some of the critics reductively called Simulationism and Neo Geo) was first brought together.
