ENTKUNSTUNG II Preface

Words to be looked at

Books are portraits of their time; they are like mirrors, reflecting how we see and perceive ourselves.

Philosophies and theories come, as always, post festum.

If life were completely rational

Towards a New Art Criticism From Latin America

Art and aesthetics are a kind of problematic equation, perhaps a forgotten or even interrupted relationship that has to be reconsidered over and over again.

Aber können wir es uns als Gesellschaft leisten, auf die Utopie zu verzichten?

But that’s art too, isn’t it? A relief, a shelter, a justification of everything we stand for.

ENTKUNSTUNG I Editor's Note
