Förlagets beskrivning
In the first volume of Eric Alliez and Jean-Claude Bonne's 'Undoing the Image: On Contemporary Art' the authors begin their exploration of a diagrammatic regime of the contemporary synonymous with an undoing of the image of the aesthetic regime of art via an engagement with the Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto.Through an analysis of the diagrammatic forces at work in the 'Neto-operation', their close study of 'Leviathan Toth', Neto's major 2006 intervention-installation in the Pantheon de la republique-a political monument itself contemporary with the 'aesthetic'-reveals the fundamental stakes of a contemporary art in the process of undoing the image-form.Attached to the vault of the Pantheon like a monstrous parasite, at once to scale and out of all proportion, irreducible to any kind of metaphor or image, the installation confronts the visitor with a foreign body whose motifs Alliez and Bonne address both 'critically' and 'clinically'. Grappling with its site on every architectural 'scale' (technical, functional, material, optical, symbolic), confronting the building and its sheer size by placing all of its physical and metaphysical coordinates into and under tension, the 'Neto-operation' engages with nothing less than the image of power in its relation to the power of the image that animates it and gives it a discursive existence. This 'an/architectural' denunciation of the Pantheon is in turn referred to the (Hobbesian) metaphysical enunciation of the Leviathan which the monstrous intervention recalls and reproblematizes
