FAIR ENOUGH by ART COLOGNE + TEXTE ZUR KUNST #9

FAIR ENOUGH is a podcast series by ART COLOGNE in collaboration
with the journal TEXTE ZUR KUNST. Presented by Micaela Dixon, FAIR
ENOUGH brings together artists, curators, writers, and thinkers to
reflect on how art and its institutions are responding to the
urgencies of our present moment. This season marks the 35th
anniversary of TEXTE ZUR KUNST. Here, the journal's motto for the
year is taken up, there is no art without criticism. Each episode
returns to a past issue of the journal to revisit the debates it
sparked and to consider how those questions continue to shape the
cultural and political landscape today. What made Cologne one of
Europe’s most magnetic art cities — and what remains of that energy
today? Recorded live at ART COLOGNE 2025, this panel brings
together leading voices who shaped and chronicled that era and
continue to define the field today: Isabelle Graw, Diedrich
Diederichsen, Andrea Fraser, Christian Nagel, and Monika Sprüth,
moderated by Hannes Loichinger. The conversation revisits the
city’s rise as a cultural powerhouse in the 1990s — a scene marked
by experimentation, discourse, and bold gallery movements — and
reflects on how those foundations reverberate in the present. How
has the ecosystem of artists, collectors, and institutions shifted
since then? What does Cologne’s story reveal about the evolution of
European art hubs — and about the forces that sustain them? A vivid
dialogue on memory, transformation, and the pulse of a city that
continues to reinvent itself. FAIR ENOUGH is a podcast by ART
COLOGNE in collaboration with TEXTE ZUR KUNST, bringing together
artists, curators, writers, and thinkers to examine how art
responds to the urgencies of our time. Season 1 marks TEXTE ZUR
KUNST’s 35th anniversary with the theme: There Is No Art Without
Criticism.
