Ethics of Joy: the Disruptive Immanent in Art Thinking and Art Making, I explore the ‘image’ as a form of resistance and the experience of joy that emanates from questioning (through images) dominant modes of representation. Specifically, I look for ways to propose new modes of possibility within current capitalist approaches, by studying the workings of a series of painAngs from the seventeenth century. I look for strategies of resistance at a time when early capitalism started configuring visual representations of ‘progress’. Such strategies could be used today to subvert ongoing representations of ‘future’ and the transcendental beliefs that might still be implicit in them, in order to shape our own paths.
