Professor Elizabeth Grosz addresses the complex relation between Francis Bacon and Gilles Deleuze, who wrote one of the most perceptive and sympathetic books on Bacon’s painting, Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation. Both Bacon and Deleuze, argues Grosz were interested in the possibilities for presenting and perceiving forces that are normally imperceptible - forces of magnetism, gravity, causality and chance, forces of aging and disintegration.The lecture was co-presented with the Power Institute and the Art Gallery of NSW exhibition 'Francis Bacon: Five Decades'.For further info about this lecture and speaker's biography see this page: http://sydney.edu.au/sydney_ideas/lectures/2012/professor_elizabeth_grosz.shtml
