RECESSION, NOW!

SENSITISATION
is for the birds.
An ornament for epicures.
Society is sensitized and knows about its problems. It knows it’s committing a crime and commits it consciously.

ECONOMIC GROWTH
Beuys still placed art and creativity in the service of profit maximization and “economic growth.” (in “Den Kadaver am Leben erhalten” p. 36, cited in W. Ulrich, p. 397)
Instead:
Economic shrinkage!
Economic downturn!
Recession, now!
