What makes a bad review — and why do we need them?
In this episode of FAIR ENOUGH, presented by ART COLOGNE in collaboration with Texte zur Kunst, together with Anna Sinofzik (senior editor at Texte zur Kunst), host Micaela Dixon dives into the complex world of art criticism. Together with her guests, she explores the cultural role of negative reviews: when they’re justified, when they miss the mark, and what they reveal about power, taste, and accountability in today’s art world.
Joining the conversation are: Maurin Dietrich • Director, Kunstverein München Tim Griffin • Curator & writer Aleksandra Mir • Artist & thinker John Miller • Artist, writer & educator
Criticism is an art form in itself — one that balances sharp insight with vulnerability and responsibility. How does the tone of critique shape the reputation of artists, institutions, and fairs? And what happens when criticism itself becomes a form of performance?
Expect honesty, humour, and a few uncomfortable truths about the art world’s love-hate relationship with critique.
FAIR ENOUGH is a podcast by ART COLOGNE & TEXTE ZUR KUNST, exploring how art and institutions respond to the urgencies of our times.
Season 1 takes up TEXTE ZUR KUNST’s 35th anniversary motto: There Is No Art Without Criticism.
