ArtKritique is the secret life of John Matthews.
I try to do what I can, to be informed, humanist. educated and independent. It shouldn't be notable but I'm a ticket buying, fee-paying, subscribing kind of critic. That might not be cheap but it does make me furiously independent, and as a bolshie Anglo-Irish, working class, lapsed Catholic, only child I think that's a pretty good place to start.
