ENTKUNSTUNG II Editors' Note

Art exceeds the population of objects, acts, bodies, and events of reality, since it is composed by no more than the combination of parts of the real, and the possibilities of permutation border on the infinite.

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

Art After The End Of Art

Material Matters: On Transparency in Art and Politics

One of the tasks of art criticism is 
to make evident the discursive qualities of artistic creation.

ENTKUNSTUNG I Preface

We hope you can see this book as we do: as an extension of memory; interpretations of our time that aspire to reinvent the world anew, “as a whole to be imagined”.

Philosophies and theories come, as always, post festum.

Total transparency is only possible through total control—the latter only exists in a dictatorship.

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