Tomorrow night at the CUE art foundation in Chelsea bloggers James Wagner, Barry Hoggard, and Artforum.com editor Brian Sholis meet to discuss the shifting role of the critic in the evolving terrain of contemporary art and its supporting industries. Noting the web background of the three participants and each of their own critical practices, it's likely that the talk will gravitate towards the particular possibilities and limitations of hypertext criticism and texts written for and distributed via the net.

Tomorrow night is also another recommended Performa 07 event featuring a live new work by musician and vanguard minimalist filmmaker Tony Conrad. The performance takes place at 7pm at Greene Naftali's gallery space. Because the press release is fairly spare on details, we might look to the artist's previous live works to formulate any reasonable expectations for the latest.

Correction: The CUE listing above previously said 7pm, but it starts at 6:30pm.
