Art criticism on the kick

Berit Myrvold (artist, art mediator and curator/producer), Øivind Storm Bjerke (professor, art historian, art critic and curator) and Åsmund Thorkildsen (director at Drammens Museum, art historian, curator and art critic) are this evening's "taste panel". They have selected 10 artistic works from art history which will be a blind test for the others in the panel based on patterns from cake, dance and cookery programs on TV. They are therefore challenged to give an immediate and spontaneous art critique on the spot! They have not had the opportunity to prepare for the meeting with the art that the others have selected. How do they judge the same artwork? What is subjective or objective? What knowledge do you need? What determines whether we find something interesting/uninteresting?
