During many of my years in Germany, I stumbled through whole issues of Texte zur Kunst because the authors would delight me with their back-handed comments about NY galleries. But at the same time, I felt unapologetic parochialism creeping into the criticisms of the German writers. Recognising that while appreciating their perspectives resulted in me reaching a higher level of competence with my own writing. My aspiration to improve my writing continues to evolve. It is a manifest decision of my blogging to improve my critical thinking skills by blogging regularly. Perhaps I could print and bind some of my blog content and sell the result through an online bookshop like some of the Texte zur Kunst advocates have done.
