Blanqui's Cosmology – Warren Neidich, Oct 08 – Nov 18, 2007
Louis August Blanqui (1805-1881) was considered one of the most unrelenting insurrectionists of his age and spent most of his life in prison because of his political views. In spite of this incarceration he exercised wide influence as a journalist and orator. Using the ideas of Blanqui as a source of inspiration and as a metaphysical platform, Neidich's series of black and white photographic images, resurrect the very spirit of the late nineteenth century, as a means through which we may understand the mind of the contemporary subject.
