When it comes to the question of how to frame a challenging creative position amid the push and pull of history, Alice Creischer is a profound voice of political art in Germany.

More, always more! There is no other way. The machinery of production cannot be shut down. Not even the machi- nery of art production. For art does not simply drop from the sky like plums from a tree. Art is production. In fact, it is part of the overproduction, the too-much, that humans bring forth in capitalism.
