Air Guitar

Hickey's essays often blur the lines between art and politics, making me wonder what sparked his belief in art's democratic power and how he sees this relationship evolving today.

The memoir elements made the philosophical points more relatable, but I’m curious if others found the blend of personal and cultural reflections effective or distracting.

His selections seem deliberate but also eclectic — I wonder what guided his choices and whether he aimed to challenge conventional art histories.
