Description: Minor Aesthetics by Mieke Bleyen Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The first volume devoted to the Belgian Surrealist artist Marcel Mariens photographic work. Publisher Description Marcel Marien (1920-1993) was a key figure of Belgian postwar surrealism. He is widely acknowledged for his landmark work on Belgian surrealism and his collaboration with future Situationists including Guy-Ernest Debord in his journal Les Levres nues. Nevertheless, Mariens texts, collages, photographs, film, and art objects have to date remained understudied. This is the first volume devoted to Mariens photographic work. Through a series of close readings, Mieke Bleyen connects the collage and photographic practices of Marien with his wider oeuvre, particularly with his archival and editorial activities. By applying Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattaris concept of the "minor," this book proposes an alternative reading of the artists antiaesthetics and focuses on the affective range of his work. The figure of Marien also serves as a case study that offers new perspectives on Belgian Surrealisms relation to mainstream Surrealism and the role of photography within the movement. This volume, moreover, raises a critique of "major" art historys conception of time as linear progression and argues instead for twisted and extended temporalities in the case of Marcel Marien.
