The two essays in the volume follow a long tradition in critical
discourse that turns to Art's domain as a source of inspiration,
instruction, and as material for the construction of its concepts
and the development of its problems. The case study of Suite
Grunewald, 159+1 variations, by the artist Titus-Carmel, returns to
a subject that has been eclipsed in past decades by the imperative
to remember: namely, the creation of the new as an event, or
rather, the event of the new as creation. This is an especially
vexatious problem following, on the one hand, the massive
displacement of the subject as the author and creator of its works
and, on the other, the introduction of the influential
DeleuzianBergsonian notion of the new as immanent continuity rather
than as the commonsense notion would have it a rupture,
interruption, and discontinuity. The first essay develops this
problematic by working alongside with Titus-Carmel variations /
deconstruction of Grunewald's original painting of the
"Crucifixion" as an exemplary site where the creation of the new at
once incalculable and necessary finds a living and urgent
expression. The second essay stages an encounter and sets free the
resonances between the writing of Jean-Luc Nancy on and around the
"body" and the cinema of Claire Denis as a cinema that mobilizes
the force of bodies that it itself invents, and to which it gives a
unique form of presence.
