“There is nothing to say, it would all sound banal” – 2024 mit Cristina Marx
Unfortunately, 2024 will go down in our kaput history as the year in which the cultural conditions in Germany meant that we really no longer have to explain our magazine subtitle “Insolvency & Pop” to anyone. At that time of choosing it, life expectancy and retirement pension were initially primarily on the agenda (see our interviews with Gudrun Gut & Hans-Joachim Irmler) and Frank Spilker) for doing so, i.e. the “longitudinal consequences” of a life with (pop)music – now it is all about survival in everyday life as a worker (also fits for artists these days) in culture.
We would like to thank our authors and photographers all the more in 2024 for their collaboration on the kaput experiment. And for sharing again their highlights of the year with us. ❤️
