Diferentes grados de Apropiación y Crítica

"The strategy of appropriation no longer attests to a particular stance toward the conditions of contemporary culture. To say this is both to suggest that appropriation did at first seem to entail a critical posi­tion and to admit that such a reading was altogether too simple. Appropriation, pastiche, quotation-these methods extend to vir­tually every aspect ofour culture, from the most cynically calculated products the fashion and entertainment industries to the most committed critical activities of artists, from the most clearly retro­grade works (Michael Graves's buildings, Hans Jiirgen Syberberg's films, Robert Mapplethorpe's photographs, David Salle's paintings) to the most seemingly progressive practices (Frank Gehry's archi­tecture, Jean-Marie Straub and Daniele Huillet's cinema, Sherrie Levine's photography, Roland Barthes's texts). If all aspects of the culture use this new operation, then the operation itself cannot indi­cate a specific reflection upon the culture."
