Abstract: Abstract Gilles Deleuze’s diagram is an abstract concept without a corresponding visual manifestation. Yet, it is also a concept interrelated with his aesthetic philosophy. The grid, a nonfigurative structure, serves to articulate the aesthetics of the diagram. Applied to grids manifest in Arnaud Maggs’s art, the diagram is revealed to be, in turn, an art historical methodology, a capture of information and an instance of pure functionality. With the theories of Buci-Glucksmann, Joselit, Krauss, Elkins and Genosko, the structural visual apparatus beneath the philosophical diagram devised by Deleuze and Guattari, with the support of Foucauldian and Kantian notions, is made to take shape.
