Parkett Vol. 19
Quote from Parkett
“In Kippenberger’s work visual subjects follow an order which is that of the dehierarchized way of reading the world that distinguishes the masses who have not been thoroughly cultivated from the masses who have; such as can be seen, for instance, in the anti-bourgeois order of values and importance found in tabloid newspapers and other subcultural or pop-cultural sites, where sense (and the power that feeds parasitically off it) plays no part in determining the order of priority of meaning.”
Diedrich Diederichsen, Parkett No. 19, 1989
