"Explores the spectrum of ideas, theories, and practices raised by the colour grey. Addresses the ongoing relevance of Hegel's articulation of philosophy as a painting of 'grey on grey.' Provides an interdisciplinary study of philosophical and theoretical issues raised by grey, including the relationships between abstraction and immediacy, determinancy and indeterminancy, colour and colourlessness, indifference and difference, and concepts of neutrality, repetition, tautology, and equivalence. Inspired by Hegel's invocation of philosophy as a painting of 'grey on grey', this collection of essays explores the rich scope of ideas implicated by grey, as a colour and a philosophical concept. The volume attests to the insistent logic of grey´s self-differing at stake in the ontology of artworks and images, revealing their deadlocks and potentials both past and present. Crossing art history, visual studies, philosophy, anthropology, media, literary and decolonial studies, contributions consider the immanence of grey on grey in rethinking the temporalities, techniques and media of art" -- $$c Provided by publisher
