Product description
Refuting the assumption that art is a representational practice, this book engages with the work of Heidegger, Deleuze and Guattari, C.S. Pierce and Judith Butler. It argues for a performative relationship between art and artist. Drawing on themes as diverse as the work of Cezanne and Francis Bacon, the transubstantiation of the Catholic sacrament, and Wilde's novel "e;The Picture of Dorian Gray"e;, she challenges the metaphor of light as entertainment. She suggests that too much "e;light"e; may in fact reveal nothing. Finally, she asks: how does an "e;embodied"e; practice fare within the culture of conceptual art?
