According to Spike Magazine, Andrew Berardini is “the most elegant of all art critic cowboys,” though he thinks of himself more simply as a writer from California. As an editor and curator, he has had past collaborations and exhibitions with the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Castello Di Rivoli in Turin, and the Estonian Pavilion at the 2019 Venice Biennale. Andrew has authored hundreds of essays for museums and art spaces including for the Whitney Biennial, the Hammer Museum, and SFMOMA, along with artist monographs including Danh Vo: Relics in 2015. He is perhaps best known for a poetic and corporeal writing, skeletoned by ideas and analysis and embodied with levity, sensuality, and invention. A contributor to Artforum since 2006 and the former critic of the LA Weekly, he has been a contributing editor at Art-Agenda, Mousse, and Momus. His latest book is Colors (Not a Cult 2023). He has released two books of poetry here semi-secretly, Endless Little Rain and Infinite Makeout.
