  • The Accident of Art

    Price: $14.95

    “There is a catastrophe within contemporary art. What I call the “optically correct” is at stake. The vision machine and the motor have triggered it, but the visual arts haven’t learned from it. Instead, they’ve masked this failure with commercial success. This “accident” is provoking a reversal of values. In my view, this is positive: the accident reveals something important we would not otherwise know how to perceive.”
    — Paul Virilio, The Accident of Art

    Urbanist and technological theorist Paul Virilio trained as a painter, studying under Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Bazaine and de Stael.

    On Interpretation
    Meaning and Inference in Law, Psychoanalysis and Literature
    Patrick Colm Hogan
    “Hogan’s book will make a significant contribution to the field of hermeneutics. It is lucidly and elegantly written, incisively argued, and refreshingly devoid of jargon and pretension. Among its strengths is its recognition of the rich insights to be gleaned from analytic philosophers, who, for the most part, are ignored by the dominant discourse of poststructuralism. That his book engages the mind at every turn and generates argument and response is testimony to its substance and power.” — Greig Henderson, Univeristy of Toronto
