Summary:
Switzerland’s first dedicated research design journal, ‘Raddar’ aims to strike a balance between solid scholarly content and attractive graphic design. For its inaugural issue, it explores the theme “function” with a range of approaches in various analyses, case studies, and contributions from Roberto Casati, Anna-Maria Meister, and more. The journal’s cover is also a creative work in its own right, designed this time by Formafantasma, the Amsterdam-based studio headed by Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin. Carefully folded and perforated, it is divided into partitions that point to the possibility of cutting the paper into different segments and thereby providing a variety of possibilities.

Summary:
Our 100th issue is dedicated to the question of the “canon.” We take up this theme with an interest in reflecting on the journal’s own role in the field of contemporary art — one that, when first initiated in 1990, was markedly counter-canonical, vigorously contesting certain methods of critique while supporting others. And yet, we pause here to acknowledge that after 25(...)

Summary:
Our 100th issue is dedicated to the question of the “canon.” We take up this theme with an interest in reflecting on the journal’s own role in the field of contemporary art — one that, when first initiated in 1990, was markedly counter-canonical, vigorously contesting certain methods of critique while supporting others. And yet, we pause here to acknowledge that after 25 years, we have also doubtlessly played a crucial part in shaping a particular discourse, even normativizing it to some degree. Could it even be said that TzK has established a canon in its own right? With this issue, we now take stock of what TzK’s relationship to the canon might be, and moreover, what the notion of canonicity in 2015 might now represent.

Summary:
Issue 101 of Texte zur Kunst takes “Polarities” as its theme—a term that in the first degree we associate with what’s unfolding around us right now: ideological polarization, from Pegida to Donald Trump. In turn, this issue looks to the macro conditions in which art critical and art historical discourses are currently being formed, and within which they will need to position themselves. What’s particularly striking, we argue, is that this trend toward polarization is happening despite the popular tendency, in recent decades, to speak of increased unification. How, then, can such polarization be reconciled with the dominant, and inherently continuous, neoliberal system—one characterized by the global economy’s promise of inclusiveness; utopian visions of peace (if not survival) via the “singularity” of screen, mind, and body; and a European Union as project of post-Soviet unification, striving to push all conflict to its periphery? What do we make of this growing difference between the ideals of technological/smooth space (where the art world often resides, swiftly neutralizing any resistance as “content”) and the broadening expanses of material unrest? Could the image of polarization be something not to avoid but to engage, at least as a potentially generative model, for understanding true opposition within a continuous system—for times that are anything but free from ideological division?

Summary:
Après les deux premiers numéros « Pornographie minérale » et « Vegetal Trauma, » le troisième numéro de la collection Spectre invite des artistes contemporains à livrer leur interprétation des ruines contemporaines. La vue des ruines est nécessaire. « C'est un temps pur, non datable, absent de notre monde d'images, de simulacres et de reconstitutions, de notre monde violent dont les décombres n'ont plus le temps de devenir des ruines. Un temps perdu qu'il arrive à l'art de retrouver. » (Marc Augé , Le temps en ruines, 2003) Il n'est pas certain que l'histoire à venir soit capable d'engendrer de nouvelles ruines. Si un doute existe sur la capacité contemporaine à laisser des ruines signifiantes, il est évident que notre époque continuera à produire des espaces délaissés, inachevés, détériorés ou rapidement obsolètes. Il est de plus en plus difficile d'avoir une perception du monde présent qui ne soit pas entièrement déterminé par lui-même. La « ruine contemporaine » interroge notre indifférence au passé, notre dépendance au présent, et nos incertitudes futures.

Summary:
The collective trauma of the pandemic has become an excuse for global capital to accelerate the total commodification of everyday life. Everything is for sale. There is more merchandise than love, more sponsored content than truth. No society in human history has demanded so many people be such active participants in producing the contemporary. No contemporary has ever been so aggressively monetised. As a coping mechanism, many amongst us have decided to check out from reality altogether; preferring to inhabit tailor-made fantasies and simulations. But only children believe that closing their eyes renders them invisible to monsters. When the monsters are real, closing our eyes rather increases the danger.
