Greil Marcus SVA Commencement Speech

At the School of Visual Art, Greil Marcus delivers a commencement speech discussing “high art” vs. “low art,” art, and influence. (Thanks, Andrew!)

Hey, everyone, we’ve just migrated to a new server. We’re adding in lost pictures and reformatting as fast as we can. Thanks for your patience with older posts!

The Cultural Gutter is a website dedicated to thoughtful writing about disreputable art. The site is updated Thursday afternoon with a new article about an artistic pursuit generally considered to be beneath consideration. Carol Borden draws out the best in comics, alex MacFadyen and Beth Watkins stare deeply into the screen, Keith Allison probes science fiction and Angela Englert sinks her fangs into horror.

Thanks to Gutter aesthetic director Brian Kirby for all his swank art. Thanks to EJ Lee for providing the fantastic art we used in the Cultural Gutter book. The Cultural Gutter’s signature nail polish, “Disreputable,” was created by Andrea Evans of My Pretty Zombie.
