[spectre] THEAUSTRIANABSTRACTS

[Armin Medosch]

100 years after futurism and 50 years after American abstract and 
minimalism accusations against art mysticism and a-political 
formalism  which have been raised then are only ever more evident 
now. abstract --> retreat into 'pure' form instrumentalized by neo-
conservative government for the construction of nationalist cultural 
identity as export commodity.

resist!
