Acts of Seeing

Parallel to Kemp's interest in contemporary scientists' work one may find amongst Kemp's published work as a consistent and persistent theme the historical exploration of the possibilities of perceived and represented structures and patterns as organisational imperatives in nature and cognition. Structures in the context of Kemp's writing not only relate to the privileged observation sites in modern science but also act most importantly as instruments for an art history of contextually examined yet philosophically approached continuities.
