The fundamentalist feminists said: this is just the same old art shit again and all women are artists! They stormed the show and hung up tampons and were outraged that we had actually made choices, a selection. From the other side came scorn and derision along the lines of: what’s all this women’s stuff? There was no respect, not even for artists who had a place in art history or the contemporary art scene. The fact that women dared to organize an exhibition of this scale and scope in this venerable palace was seen as impudent, the cheek of it! Looking back, it’s hard to understand. Later, when similar exhibitions were staged on a much smaller scale, this show was never mentioned – it’s been more or less forgotten, although it would now be totally impossible to bring the same exhibits together in this way again. — Silvia Bovenschen about “Künstlerinnen International 1877–1977”, 1977 at Berlin’s Schloss Charlottenburg (frieze d/e)

Die Bewegung nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg, die sich existentialistisch nannte und avantgardistisch aufführte, hatte etwas Unkräftiges, Schattenhaftes. Der Existentialismus, den das deutsche Establishment als subversiv beargwöhnt, sieht den Bärten seiner Anhänger ähnlich. Sie kostümieren sich oppositionell, Jugendliche als Höhlenmenschen, die beim Schwindel der Kultur nicht mehr mitspielen, während sie doch nur das aus der Mode gekommene Emblem der patriarchalen Würde ihrer Großväter sich ankleben. — [Th. W. Adorno: Negative Dialektik, Funktion des Existenzbegriffs] (via negationdernegation)
