OBJECTIONS. FORMS OF ABSTRACTION VOL I

Forms of Abstraction engages with abstraction not as a formal option in art, or as an airy theoretical speculation, but as an operational force that has redesigned our world and continues to do so. The first volume, Objections, takes its cue from the Latin root of object, obiectumwhich refers to something put before the subject, something thrown in ones way. This sense of the object as obstacle or obstruction, and of the artwork as an aesthetic and political objection, is explored in this volume.
