“WHERE DO YOU STAND, COLLEAGUE?”
On the occasion of its 20th anniversary Texte zur Kunst organized an international symposium at Theater Hebbel am Ufer (HAU1) in Berlin on December 11, 2010. Under the programmatic title, “Where do you stand, colleague?”, lectures and panels addressed the fundamental question of the relationship between art criticism and social critique. Issue #81, the first of the third decade of Texte zur Kunst, compiles all seventeen lectures and statements, slightly altered for print. The symposium “Where do you stand, colleague?” and accordingly this issue as well was divided into three sections, each with a thematic focus discussing approaches and methods important to Texte zur Kunst in view of their relevance to the present.Plus reviews from Berlin, Los Angeles, New York, Cambridge, Stockholm, Vienna, Geneva, Frankfurt, Karlsruhe, Munich, and Madrid
