Minus Plato

Minus Plato started life as a blog about the dynamic between ancient Greek and Roman culture and Modern/Contemporary Art in May 2012, written by Richard Fletcher, Associate Professor in the Department of Classics at Ohio State University. During the first year and a half of the Trump presidency and following a transformative experience at documenta 14 in Athens and Kassel, Minus Plato developed into a platform for engaging with contemporary artists as a means of critiquing the discipline of Classics. As a result, Richard Fletcher now writes as Minus Plato from his new position as Associate Professor in the Department of Arts Administration, Education and Policy at Ohio State University.
