FOOTNOTES
originally published in Studio Cleo, New York, 1997
Relevant concerning Donald Trump, the backstory goes way back. In Stuttgart, Germany, there is an artist center called Schloss Solitude, where in 1996 we discussed how important footnotes have become; no longer used only for their significance but also for their ability to expropriate the credibility inherent in the book referred to. In the future, critical writing might evolve to the elimination of the text, leaving only footnotes; thus the critic would risk nothing while reaping an intellectual mantle. Since we live in the future, I felt the need to be a pioneer. Both in form and content, any parallels between the material quoted below and the contemporary as praxis is (of course) purely contemporary
