A friend commented on the possibility of diagrams being aesthetic and final objects in and of themselves, citing this exhibition.
I know if nothing else I would find looking at a book of artists diagrams and charts fascinating, having seen some of Mark Lombardi and Thomas Hirschhorn.
I'm not sure if theres an analogue (analog?) for this type of work way back in the past, but I guess on the one hand you could think about art historically with respect to the politics of the frame (boring), but on the other hand maybe a diagram represents a different modality of knowledge that isn't quite linguistic or sensory and so opens up a a particular vector. That is to say, if we follow diagrammatic logic/form even further where does that get us?
