Criticism of Art Critisism – The Publication PolYpeN
Sabeth Buchmann, Helmut Draxler
Sabeth Buchmann and Helmut Draxler will present three publications that were recently appeared in PolYpeN. Buchmann and Draxler initiated, together with Clemens Krümmel and Susanne Leeb, the series PolYpeN in the publishing company b_books, that aims to work out art criticism as a production from with specific categories and values. The main idea is to let go from the form of criticism that is adjusted from paradoxes and conflicts and to counter it with positions on cultural and social criticism and critical practices of artists.
