The book [Re]PERFORMING A LIST ... FROM A TO Z AND BACK AGAIN is an iteration of The Aesthetics Group's response to a series of progressively treated triptychs entitled atoz made by artist Jeanette Doyle for exhibition at the AC Institute in New York.
The performance of the Aesthetics Group activates the work in multiple registers--live in the gallery and subsequently online for both the AC Institute curated by Holly Crawford, and the Bangkok Biennial curated by Anne Murray, who also wrote the foreword for this book. Through the performance of a script, the process and conditions of development, presentation and reception are subtly altered allowing new forms of interaction with the material to emerge. The work resonates through the dual lenses of critical theory and performance, allowing a critical and playful reflection on Doyle's work in the context of the contemporary artistic sublime. The work continues the group's research, which interrogates the aesthetics of language and politics in the digital age.
A poetic performance by the Aesthetics Group in New York City on an April night in 2019 comes to life again! In my mind I hear again their voices call and respond, questioning and dreaming about Jeanette Doyle's beautiful images which contemplate the sublime in their delicate nuance. The words are pearls of light, language and life. The book is a treasure.--Claire Montgomery Founder Director, Location One, New York
This unique book provides an innovative system for prescient performative reflections that meaningfully take us everywhere; from language, technology, architecture and temporality to the nature of images, while all the time being guided from A to Z and back again.--Dr. Brian Fay Senior Lecturer, Fine Art and Visual Culture, TUDublin
