Barthes/Burgin, Paperback / softback Book

Barthes/Burgin Paperback / softback

Edited by Ryan Bishop, Sunil Manghani

Paperback / softback

Description

The influence of Roland Barthes on Burgin’s work is well documented.

Equally, Burgin’s prominence as an artist and theorist concerned with text and image offers a productive dialogue with Barthes’ work.

Victor Burgin has long been considered both theorist and practitioner, while Barthes is more known as a theorist and writer.

In bringing to the fore Barthes’s practice of painting and drawing, Barthes/Burgin prompts a new critical consideration of Barthes/Burgin, theory/practice, writing/making and criticality/visuality.

Barthes/Burgin features two new interviews with Burgin, one concerned with his turn to new digital practices and the other a reflection on his reading of Roland Barthes.

Also included are images and texts from the artists and an essay critically examining Barthes’ exercises in drawing and painting.
