Art and the Form of Life takes a classic themephilosophy as the art of livingand gives it a contemporary twist. The book examines a series of watershed moments in artistic practice alongside philosophers most enduring questions about the way we live. Coupling Tino Sehgal with Wittgenstein, cave art with Foucault, Stanley Kubrick with Nietzsche, and the Bauhaus with Walter Benjamin, the book animates the idea that life is literally ours to make. It reflects on universal themes that connect the long histories of art and philosophy, and it does so using a contemporary approach. Drawing on great philosophical works, it argues that life practiced as an art form affords an experience of meaning, in the sense that it is engaging, creative, and participatory. It thus effects a fundamental renewal of experience. Roy Brand is a philosopher and curator working at the intersection of contemporary philosophy and art. He is a senior lecturer in the Masters programs of Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem. His book LoveKnowledge: The Life of Philosophy from Socrates to Derrida was published in 2013.
