{"product_id":"death-of-an-art-critic-tod-einer-kritikerin-9783956793479","title":"Death of an Art Critic \/ Tod Einer Kritikerin","description":"\"The idea behind Donnerstag was to insist on the difference between good art and bad art. I am aware of how anachronistic that sounds and how quickly it evokes the image of an old critic-pontiff wagging his authoritarian pointer finger. But even that image is founded in a misunderstanding: the caricaturesque exaggeration of the critic's voice as dictatorial. But it's really nothing more than that very voice. And it pronounces a judgment that is not juridical, but ideally worth nothing more than the argument at its core. It's far more authoritarian and antidemocratic to deny a public voice the act of judgment and concede to a postheroically styled art writer nothing more than the task of pointing at something. [...] Whoever just leaves it at that has also parted ways with any hope of open rivalry between arguments.\" --Annika Bender\u003cp\u003eThis book is an adaptation of Annika Bender's lecture \"Jump! You Fuckers!\" which was presented at Kunsthalle Bern in the context of a series on overproduction and ambivalence in contemporary art. Annika Bender was one of the pseudonyms of artists Dominic Osterried and Steffen Zillig, who wrote the blog \u003ci\u003eDonnerstag\u003c\/i\u003e (now discontinued) under her name. To make the criticism she proposed possible, and make public its conditions and inherent contradictions--as well as articulate the reasons for her disappearance--it proved necessary to confer Bender to the archive. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchriftenreihe by Kunsthalle Bern, ed.
