Summary/Abstract: The book explores the entanglements of modern art resulting from the condition of late postmodernism. It is written in the form of a “lively”, formally open, philosophical and artistic dialogue, whose participants – a philosopher and a philosophizing artist – draw on selected examples of artistic practices to discuss the artistic strategies and philosophical problems which shape the field of today’s art. They analyze in depth a number of phenomena in modern art, and by relating them to philosophical interpretative contexts, throw light on a wide range of subjects. Maintaining due care for scholarly method, they go beyond traditional “treatise-monologue” forms of philosophical expression so as to make the book more appealing and approachable for a wider audience of readers interested in both art. And the humanities.
