FAIR ENOUGH by ART COLOGNE + TEXTE ZUR KUNST #5
Micaela Dixon and Tara Heffernan in conversation on The Return of the Badaud
Tara Heffernan: The Return of the Badaud
Art critic Tara Heffernan discusses the reappearance of the 19th-century badaud — the idle onlooker, the fascinated observer of modern life — in today’s art world.
In conversation with Micaela Dixon, Heffernan reflects on the emergence of new forms of art journalism and the shifting landscape of criticism in what she defines as a time of “no posterity.” Together, they explore the state of the avant-garde, the tensions between attention and distraction, and how social reportage and immediacy are reshaping the position of the critic.
A thoughtful dialogue on the future of art writing — and on what it means to look, linger, and record in an age of relentless now.
FAIR ENOUGH is a podcast by ART COLOGNE in collaboration with TEXTE ZUR KUNST, bringing together artists, curators, writers, and thinkers to examine how art responds to the urgencies of our time.
Season 1 marks TEXTE ZUR KUNST’s 35th anniversary with the theme: There Is No Art Without Criticism.
