The Poem About Love You Don't Write The Word Love

| In
the Poem About Love You Don't Write the Word Love takes
the distinction that French critic Serge Daney made between
the ‘image’ and the ‘visual’ as
a starting point for a selection of artworks, films, and
discussions. Daney's distinction refers to an ‘image’ that
can critically challenge and destabilize predominant models
of information, resisting the ‘purely technical,’ that
which is nothing other than the verification that something
functions. Through various strategies of dislocation or
slippage contemporary artists and filmmakers stage unsettling
tensions that challenge visual conventions in an increasingly
mediated culture. The aim of this book is to provide a
theoretical and critical framework for examining how contemporary
art and cinema can still hold out against an experience
of vision and of the ‘visual.’ Contributions
range from philosophers and theorists such as Giorgio Agamben, and
Jean-Luc Nancy, and to art historians such as George
Baker and Jonathan Crary, and to artists and filmmakers
including François Bucher, Gareth James, Mai-Thu
Perret and Keith Sanborn. |
