Elizabeth Grosz on Bacon, Deleuze and Imperceptible Forces

Professor Elizabeth Grosz addresses the complex relation between Francis Bacon and Gilles Deleuze, who wrote one of the most perceptive and sympathetic books on Bacon’s painting, Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation. Both Bacon and Deleuze, argues Grosz were interested in the possibilities for presenting and perceiving forces that are normally imperceptible - forces of magnetism, gravity, causality and chance, forces of aging and disintegration. The lecture was co-presented with the Power Institute and the Art Gallery of NSW exhibition 'Francis Bacon: Five Decades'.
