Death of an Art Critic / Tod Einer Kritikerin, Bender Annika, Knoll Valerie, Loichinger Hannes

This book is an adaptation of Annika Benders 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 Donnerstag (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.
