This is actually a part summary of Bacon’s own account of his works. I in fact disagree with this reading in the paper.

“The paintings seek to ‘unlock sensation’, to provoke a convulsive, existential shudder in those who encounter them,” writes @benjamin_ware on Francis Bacon’s art. | iai.tv/articles/distortion-a…
Tap to read more about Ware’s argument that decay and extinction bleeds into a philosophical view of Bacon’s art that heightens his genius.

Mood.
Just read this excellent book by @benjamin_ware. Lots of familiar faces heading for the exit door of history... perhaps. (Emoji: red star).

Radical politics today should not be concerned with merely averting the worst but rather with beginning again at the end.
Books to read alongside Ben Ware's essential new intervention, On Extinction: Beginning Again At The End.

“While anti-natalism is thus relentlessly pessimistic about ‘life,’ it is eerily silent about the profit system responsible for specific kinds of life-making.” @benjamin_ware on the problems with anti-natalism and the emptiness of opting out.
