He has been regarded with suspicion by some, as an
anti-postmodernist who dared to write about unfashionable concepts
such as truth and meaning. But in recent years, the philosopher
Alain Badiou has risen in prominence, pioneering new ways to
produce, conceptualise and discover art. Badiou Reframed is an
original book about an original thinker which applies - for the
first time - Badiou's philosophy to the visual arts. The six
central concepts of this philosophy - 'being and appearing', 'event
and subject' and 'truth and ethics' - are elucidated through
detailed analysis of a range of visual artworks, including Marcel
Duchamp's readymades, the abstract paintings of Kazimir Malevich
and Mark Rothko, Banksy's contemporary street art, the sculpture of
Alberto Giacometti, Stephane Mallarme's visual poetry and Victor
Fleming's classic film The Wizard of Oz. In focusing on Badiou's
critical relationship with the visual arts, Alex Ling reinterprets
and represents not only the man, but art itself.
