The Medium of Contingency - Robin Mackay (Editor)

The Medium of Contingency brings together leading voices from contemporary philosophy, art theory, and finance to explore how the notion of absolute contingency reshapes our understanding of markets, materiality, and artistic creation. Edited by philosopher Robin Mackay (Urbanomic), and featuring contributions by Reza Negarestani, Elie Ayache, Miguel Abreu, Matthew Poole, and Scott Lyall, the book is based on a conference held at Thomas Dane Gallery in London.

The contributors examine how artistic media and financial instruments both operate through unpredictability, opening up reflections on the limits of knowledge, rationalism, and the role of curatorship and speculation in contemporary culture. A rigorous and conceptually demanding publication that bridges speculative realism, contemporary art, and finance.
