Due to a combination of errors in the process of translation, editing, and condensing, the September 2002 review of "Okonomien der Zeit" (Cologne) by Nina Montmann inadvertently misrepresented the writer's opinion of the show. A sentence praising the caulogue and noting that it was an integral companion to the exhibition was omitted, as was a favorable comment concerning the relevance of the show in the context of the New Economy. The reviewer's original final paragraph, which was intended to signal a conscious strategy on the part of the curators to avoid foreclosing on a singular critical position, began: "Again and against such points, the title theme ["Economies of Time"] seems to refuse to function as a guide fur reception. In many works, critical positions have been formulated on the suite of contemporary discourse, including suggestions for further work or new orientations, for example, with regard to visuality or to themes like privacy, consumerism, and marketing that until now were gener ally the subject of affirmative or nun-discourse-oriented positions. A focus on this problematic seems to have been consciously avoided in the exhibition.... Under the relatively broadly conceived theme of economy of time, then, the individual works gain in presence and autonomy of content, which in turn allows the viewer room for his ocher own associations on the theme." The effect of these omissions and alterations, combined with a reordering of sentences in the process of editing, created the impression that the reviewer had a negative assessment of the exhibition, when in further judgment was positive.
