Add to basketPaperback. The most significant critical, theoretical, and art historical texts by the artist, writer, and filmmaker Aria Dean.Compiled here for the first time, the selected writings of Aria Dean (b. 1993, Los Angeles) mount a trenchant critique of representational systems. A visual artist and filmmaker, Dean has also emerged as one of the leading critical voices of her generation through a body of writing that maps the forces of aesthetic theory, image regimes, and visibility onto questions of race and power. Deans work across media has long been defined by what she calls a fixation on the subject and its borders, and the texts collected here filter that inquiry through digital networks, art history, and Black radical thought. Equally at home discussing artists who embrace difficultyfrom Robert Morris to David Hammons, Lorna Simpson, and Ulysses Jenkinsand conceptual frameworks such as Afropessimism, Dean often contends with how theoretical positions brush against the grain of lived reality: how the Structuralism handed down from the academy, for instance, can be commingled with critiques of structural racism, or how Georges Batailles notion of base matter transforms through an encounter with Blackness. Deans thinking embraces a definition of Black art that luxuriates in its outside-the-world-ness, as she writes in this volume, which works to elucidate Blacknesss proclivity for making and unmaking its own rules as it produces objects of cultural necessity. Originally published in Novemberof which Dean is a founding editoras well as in Texte zur Kunst, e-flux journal, and in exhibition contexts, the essays compiled in Bad Infinity were written over a six-year span that charts our rapidly evolving forms of subjectivity and sociality.
