Michel Foucault once suggested that the twentieth-century would be
known as 'Deleuzian'; certainly, in the field of contemporary art,
this prediction appears to have been accurate. But what, we might
ask, is at stake in this take up of Deleuze and Guattari's thought?
What are its limits and its possibilities? Deleuze and Contemporary
Art addresses these questions in presenting a series of
experimental and explorative inflections on the 'and' of the book's
title. From those who explicitly address the political and the
expanded 'aesthetic paradigm' of art practice today, to those more
concerned with specific scenes and encounters or who rethink the
question of technology in relation to art, this collection contains
work at the cutting edge of this new area of enquiry. Containing
essays by philosophers and artists, as well as writers from outside
the Anglo-American world, this collection is an exercise in
transversality - an intervention into the field of Deleuze and
Guattari Studies and contemporary art. Contributors include Gustavo
Chirolla Ospina, Suely Rolnik, Gerald Raunig, Stephen Zepke, Eric
Alliez, Maurizio Lazzarato, Jussi Parikka, Johnny Golding, David
Burrows, Robert Garnett, Simon O'Sullivan, Edgar Schmitz, Claudia
Mongini, Elisabeth von Samsonow, Barbara Bolt, Neil Chapman and Ola
Stahl. Stephen Zepke is an independent researcher. Simon O'Sullivan
is a Senior Lecturer in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University
of London. They co-edited Deleuze, Guattari and the Production of
the New (2008).
Fictioning in art is an open-ended, experimental practice that
involves performing, diagramming or assembling to create or
anticipate new modes of existence. In this extensively illustrated
book containing over 80 diagrams and images of artworks, David
Burrows and Simon O'Sullivan explore the technics of fictioning
through three focal points: mythopoesis, myth-science and
mythotechnesis. These relate to three specific modes of fictioning:
performance fictioning, science fictioning and machine fictioning.
In this way, Burrows and O'Sullivan explore how fictioning can
offer us alternatives to the dominant fictions that construct our
reality in an age of `post-truth' and `perception management'.
Through fictioning, they look forward to the new kinds of human,
part-human and non-human bodies and societies to come.
Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari have arguably gone further than
anyone in contemporary philosophy in affirming a philosophy of
creation, one that both establishes and encourages a clear ethical
imperative: to create the new. In this remarkable undertaking,
these two thinkers have created a fresh engagement of thought with
the world. This important collection of essays attempts to explore
and extend the creative rupture that Deleuze and Guattari produce
in the Capitalism and Schizophrenia project. The essays in this
volume, all by leading thinkers and theorists, extend Deleuze and
Guattari's project by offering creative experiments in constructing
new communities - of ideas and objects, experiences and collectives
- that cohere around the interaction of philosophy, the arts and
the political realm. Deleuze, Guattari and the Production of the
New produces new perspectives on Deleuze and Guattari's work by
emphasising its relevance to the contemporary intersection of
aesthetics and political theory, thereby exploring a pressing
contemporary problem: the production of the new.
