ENTKUNSTUNG II Preface

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.

Der fortschrittliche Zeitpfeil biegt sich zu Kreisen und
so kehrt auch die These der Peak Art wieder.

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

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.

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