A close analysis of the work of Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto
reveals the fundamental stakes of a contemporary art in the process
of undoing the image-form. The first volume of Eric Alliez and
Jean-Claude Bonne's major work on contemporary art begins by
outlining their exploratory and speculative project: not so much to
produce a new "philosophy of art" as to enter into a space
in-between philosophy and art-between a contemporary philosophy of
contemporary art and an art contemporary with contemporary
philosophy. But what exactly is the "contemporary"? And how can we
make ourselves, philosophically, the contemporaries of works whose
problematic nature no longer sits well under the categories of the
"aesthetic," inherited from romanticism? In these case-studies of
an art-thought that is inseparable from the continued construction
of the very concept of a "contemporary art," philosophical analysis
is continually displaced by the forces of works and practices of
creation and reception that herald a new-processual and
post-conceptual-configuration of art, with Matisse and
Duchamp-Matisse-thought and Duchamp-thought-establishing a tension
that, since the 1960s, has been "recharged" by the micropolitical
options which have given rise to the critical and clinical
problematisation of art. Moving through and beyond the thought of
Deleuze and Guattari, the discovery of a diagrammatic regime of the
contemporary synonymous with an undoing of the image of the
aesthetic regime of art begins here with the work of Brazilian
artist Ernesto Neto, as a close analysis of the diagrammatic forces
at work in Leviathan Thot, Neto's major 2006 intervention in the
Pantheon de la republique, reveals the fundamental stakes of a
contemporary art in the process of undoing the image-form. Neto's
"anarchitectural denunciation" takes on the (Hobbesian)
metaphysical enunciation of the Leviathan-state, which his
monstrous "counter-installation" recalls and reproblematizes by
placing all of the Pantheon's physical and metaphysical coordinates
into and under tension. Grappling with this foreign body both
critically and clinically, Alliez and Bonne reveal how the "Neto
Operation" engages with nothing less than the image of power in its
relation to the power of the image that animates it and endows it
with a discursive existence.
