A&B’s latest reflections on how to art-theorise with a hammer:

Our method will be very simple. We will tell of what we love; and in this light, everything else will become evident.
There is just one art: the art of destruction
There is just one art history: the history of war against authority.
There is just one aesthetic: one art idea, one art meaning, one principle, one force: to be intolerant towards any authority, any oppression, any injustice, any chains.

Alexander Brener and Barbara Schurz are poets, caricaturists, novelists, theorists, percussionists, interventionists, artists, singers, non-professional wrestlers and authors of extraordinary tracts such as Was tun? (Edition Selene, 1999) and Demolish Serious Culture!!! (Edition Selene, 2000), much quoted acts such as obliterating official graffiti on the Berlin Wall with grey paint or screaming loudly in the palaces of contemporary art.
