Éric Alliez et al., « Undoing the Image : Of Contemporary Art », Multitudes, ID : 10670/1.c3133b...
Halfway between art and philosophy, this attempt to Undo the aesthetic image of art is less “drawn from” than “taken after” Deleuze and Guattari, in terms of regimes, assemblages and diagrams. Linked to a displacement of works and practices (of creation and reception), this research provides a multiplicity of thought-experiences generated by and through contemporary art. Matisse-thinking and Duchamp-thinking constitute a field of forces recharged, from the 1960s on, with micropolitical options in critical and clinical problematizations of art. A User’s Manual would include Daniel Buren, Gordon Matta-Clark and Günter Brus, along with a Brazilian line of artists going from Hélio Oiticica to Ernesto Neto.
