Book Description\n"It has never been my ambition to treat artworks as \nillustrations of philosophical doctrines. Rather, I believe that the works \nexplored give rise to their own set of concepts." \n\nA philosophical essay on time, phenomenology and beyond, Daniel Birnbaum's \nChronology was recently reviewed in the April 2006 issue of frieze as a \n"compelling and sophisticated take on the common theme of Deleuzian \nimmanence." \n\nWhereas many theoretical books littering the bookshops of art institutions \nare laudations of excess, Birnbaum's convictions presented in Chronology \ncut a way through the "caesuras of non-meaning and blankness into the thick \nweb of sense." The works of artists such as Stan Douglas, Eija-Liisa \nAhtila, Doug Aitken, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Tacita Dean, Darren \nAlmond, Tobias Rehberger, Pierre Huyghe, and Philippe Parreno are \nscrutinized as so many attempts to capture the very dialectic of time \nitself. \n\nAs Brian Dillon writes in frieze, "Birnbaum's notion of an art of \nunpredictable becoming [.] has its aporias too. A brief aside apropos \nMatthew Barney - to the effect that his art is all meaning, all of the time \n- is quite telling." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition. About the Author\nDaniel Birnbaum is Rector of the Städelschule in Frankfurt am \nMain and Director of its Portikus gallery. A contributing editor of \nArtforum, he is the author of a number of texts on art and philosophy. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
