Renowned philosopher Susan Buck-Morss collaborates with conceptual apparel label Boot Boyz Biz's Kevin McCaughey and Inventory Press' Adam Michaels on this experimental image-text update of McLuhan and Benjamin.
Showing how the montage principle allows thought to occupy the space between two seemingly unrelated things, Seeing Making Room for Thought both studies and embodies how an arrangement of images can be a form of thinking--in other words, images not as illustrations or objects of analysis but as a montage. In a close collaboration with designers Kevin McCaughey (founder of the popular conceptual clothing line Boot Boys Biz) and Adam Michaels of Inventory Press, renowned philosopher Susan Buck-Morss expands on her unique conception of montage, combining images and text--also integrating excerpts from Buck-Morss' previous work--in an innovative way that provides insight into images and how they work together.
In both design and content, Seeing Making Room for Thought is directly in conversation with Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore's The Medium Is the Massage, as well as the works of Walter Benjamin. This innovative volume brings Buck-Morss' more experimental, visually engaged work to the fore in a way that has not been available in the usual contexts within which her writing has appeared.
