Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. What would it mean to treat an interval of space as a line, thus drawing an empty void into a constellation of art and meaning-laden things?In this book, Irene Small elucidates the signal discovery of the Brazilian artist Lygia Clark in 1954: a fissure of space between material elements that Clark called 'the organic line'. For much of the history of art, Clarks discovery, much like the organic line, has escaped legibility. Once recognised, however, the line has seismic repercussions for rethinking foundational concepts such as mark, limit, surface, and edge. A spatial cavity that binds discrepant entities together, the organic line transforms planes into flexible topologies, borders into membranes, and interstices into points of connection. As a paradigm, the organic line has profound historiographic implications as well, inviting us to set aside traditional notions of influence and origin in favor of what Small terms weak links and plagiotropic relations.These fragile, oblique, and transversal ties have their own efficacy, and Smalls innovative readings of canonical modernist works such as Kazimir Malevichs Black Square, John Cages 433, and Le Corbusiers machine-a-habiter, as well as contemporary works by such artists as Adam Pendleton, Ricardo Basbaum, and Mika Rottenberg, reveal the organic lines remarkable potential as an analytic instrument. Mobilising a rich repertoire of archival sources and moving across multiple chronologies, geographies, and disciplines, this book invites us to envision modernism not as a stable construct defined by centers and peripheries, inclusions and exclusions, but as a topological field of interactive, destabilising tensions.More than a history of a little-known artistic device, The Organic Line: Toward a Topology of Modernism is a users guide and manifesto for reimagining modern and contemporary art for the present. "This book mobilizes the Brazilian artist Lygia Clark's notion of the organic line-an interval of space between material elements-as a conceptual instrument for reimagining the field of modernism as a topological surface capable of formation and deformation through critical description and artistic practice alike"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
