"((( is conceived of not only as a poetry collection and an artist book, but also as a series of actions, a sculpture, an installation, a living object, and a verbal ecosystem. The poetic voyage of (((, recounted in a concrete yet mysterious, abstract yet bodily language, is proposed here in a trilingual English–Italian–French edition. In the spirit of Uitgeverij’s editorial approach, this will allow readers from different parts of the world to discover in their own ways how ((( explores some of the author’s recurring themes through highly innovative poetic and narrative processes: the effects of war on children; technology and surveillance systems; immaterial and unknown phenomena; human emotions and non-human manifestations of nature via undefined objects and bodies, animals, and cosmological landscapes.The three parentheses of the title hint at multiple layers that are opened and never closed: ((( seeks to push language out of its verbal and human boundaries, towards unobservable territories. The genre of this book, although stemming from poetry in the sense of Dichtung, that is, concentration of meaning in highly dense verbal structures, is eminently queer, as it escapes identities and definitions. Through its multidimensional, intense, and surprising writing architecture, ((( explores new conceptual and emotional possibilities in the 21st century, confirming poetry and post-genre writing as powerful forms of inquiry in the contemporary era."

"What if all works of art were better understood as functioning apparatuses, entangling their human audiences in experiences of becoming? What if certain works of art were even able to throw the brakes on becoming altogether, making nothings rather than somethings? What would be the ethical value of making nothing, of stalling becoming; and how might such nothings even be made?Some Ways of Making Nothing: Apophatic Apparatuses in Contemporary Art borrows its understanding of apparatuses from quantum mechanics and the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, and its understanding of nothing from apophatic (negative) theology. It then proposes a new way of understanding art, applying this understanding to artworks by Arakawa and Gins, Robert Fludd, David Crawford, Joshua Citarella, William Pope.L, and Haim Steinbach. Philosophy, physics, theology, and media theory are traversed and involved in order to understand art differently so that it might be made to matter more."

À l'image d’un monde parcouru de flux, vacillant sous l’effet d’accélérations, la création contemporaine est en prise avec la question de la variabilité. Le statut et les formes de certaines réalisations se révèlent mutants, instables, labiles. Cet ouvrage ne porte pas spécifiquement sur des productions et des problématiques liées au numérique, mais on peut observer que de nombreux artistes mettent en œuvre, au sein d’espaces matériels, un mouvement de transformation, à l’image du « rafraîchissement » ou de l'actualisation des données numériques qui portent en eux une dimension performative. S’interroger sur la variabilité des œuvres permet de penser leur circulation à travers les réseaux, leur « transit » d’un espace de monstration à un autre, leur devenir multiforme et augmenté. En des textes aux formes variées, sont d’abord étudiés des phénomènes de variabilité à travers des processus de combinatoires, d’intermédialité, de remake. Puis les mutations suscitées par des changements de contexte, qu’ils touchent aux modalités d’exposition, d’actualisation d’œuvres, ou qu’il s’agisse de contexte historique, social, politique avec lequel dialoguent les pratiques artistiques. Enfin, la notion d’instabilité est envisagée quand certains artistes s’emparent des potentialités mises au jour par les nouvelles technologies ou qu’ils négocient avec l’organique, l’instabilité du vivant créant des œuvres-écosystèmes en infinie mutation.

Cet ouvrage offre une vision inédite de l'art contemporain. Il propose des outils conceptuels et des critères qui aident à sa compréhension. L'auteur démontre en quoi l'art favorisé par les institutions muséales et les galeries branchées est différent de l'art moderne. Leur écart est important. Car l'art contemporain est un art du signe et du code, l'aspect tactile ou sensoriel étant absolument secondaire. Dans le paysage de l'art d'aujourd'hui que reste-t-il de la transcendance, de l'intuition, de la beauté, du mystère, des qualités traditionnelles de l'art ? L'essai est articulé par un mouvement de va-et-vient entre l'art actuel et la philosophie post-moderne. Ainsi l'auteur déchiffre un univers conceptuel qui peut paraître mystérieux. Sophie Calle, Maurizio Cattelan, Gerhard Richter et Basquiat sont présents en compagnie de philosophes, tels que Derrida et Deleuze. L'art contemporain est également considéré dans une perspective globale où entrent en ligne de compte les philosophies esthétiques de l'Orient
