After five years of the most intense social and artistic activism, we have yet to develop a constructive critique.

The criticism of the magazines and curators remains pathetically servile ("affirmative," in Marcuse's phrase), while minority developments remain caught either in the trap of disillusionment and cynical observation of the disaster, or in the marginally preferable impasse of pure radicalism and refusal of anything that smacks of cooptation.

müssen wir erst eine konstruktive Kritik entwickeln.

Die Kritik der Zeitschriften und KuratorInnen bleibt pathetisch unterwürfig (nach Marcuse "affirmativ"), während minoritäre Entwicklungen entweder in der Falle der Desillusion und der zynischen Beobachtung der Katastrophe gefangen bleiben oder in der kaum vorzuziehenden Sackgasse puren Radikalismus' und der Verweigerung von allem, was nach Kooptierung riecht.
