His areas of focus are contemporary art history and theory as well as poststudio practices. Kurtz received an B.A. in Sociology in 1981 and an M.A. in Social Thought & Sociological Theory in 1983, both from the University of North Texas. As a student Kurtz together with Steve Barnes began a collaboration to make low-tech videos for which they used the signature Critical Art Ensemble.
