Refuting the assumption that art is a representational practice; Boltrsquo;s striking argument engages with the work of Heidegger; Deleuze and Guattari; C.S.Peirce and Judith Butler to argue for a performative relationship between art and artist. Drawing on themes as diverse as the work of Ceacute;zanne and of Francis Bacon; the transubstantiation of the Catholic sacrament and Wildersquo;s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray; she challenges the metaphor of light as enlightenment; reconceiving this lsquo;revealingrsquo; light as the blinding lsquo;glarersquo; of the Australian sun; and suggests that too much lsquo;lightrsquo; may in fact reveal nothing. This stimulating book questions many of the fundamental assumptions ingrained in us about the nature of art.
