Anachrony, Contemporaneity, and Historical Imagination

Taking its point of departure in an “anachronic” exhibition, “Soulèvements” (2016–18), this book is a theoretical exploration of how the notion of contemporaneity—understood as the coming together of different times in the same historical present—relates to the end of a certain history of art. Critical of hitherto dominant chronological, ahistorical, and/or culturally restricted notions of the contemporary, Lund’s overall aim is to make an argument for “the contemporary contemporary” as the point of departure for any anachronic relationship with time today, and as the inescapable point of departure for any possible historical imagination. Anachrony, Contemporaneity, and Historical Imagination is the thirteenth volume of the Contemporary Condition.

Series
The Contemporary Condition offers a sustained inquiry into contemporaneity as a defining condition of our historical present. Departing from the assumption that the relationship between artistic practice and sociopolitical reality is radically changing, the series explores planetarity, the aesthetics of eco-systemic changes, and how the networked image can be understood as a relational assemblage to address the politics of infrastructure and wider ecologies. Series edited by Geoff Cox and Jacob Lund.
