Drawing Analogies

"Diagrams are a widely recognised mode of visual representation, but their status within arts education has been marginal. This open access book provides a critical history of diagrams across the arts, science and philosophy and develops a transdisciplinary methodology by examining them within distinct fields of knowledge and practice. Authors discuss key diagrammers from art history such as Hanne Darboven, Marcel Duchamp, Hilma af Klint and Yayoi Kusama, who draw analogies between distinct objects and systems and reveal otherwise invisible relationships between them. Authors examine the relevance for contemporary arts research and practices alongside the approach to diagrams in their own work.
