Paranoia TV by Ekaterina Degot
A guide to the 2020 iteration of the Austrian contemporary arts festival
For the 54th edition of the Steirischer Herbst festival in Austria, the festival transformed into a semi-fictitious media company, Paranoia TV. Artists contributed films, serial shows and online discussions around the thesis that television is both a celebration of reality as well as that reality's absence.
Mikhail Lifshitz (1905-1983) studied and later taught at the avant-garde art school VKhUTEMAS, where he formulated a Leninist critique of modernism beginning in the mid-1920s. In 1927, he became the first author to write about Marx's own aesthetic views. His book on the subject (published in Moscow by Gosizdat Khud. Lit. in 1933) first appeared in English as The Philosophy of Art of Karl Marx in 1938 (New York: Critic's Group) and is still considered a pioneering work in its field.
