For some time now, the field of contemporary art practice has looked to the writings of Deleuze and Guattari as a resource. Indeed, it would not be unreasonable to say that their philosophy is the current lingua franca of the contemporary art world and we are surrounded by work that is ‘rhizomatic’, ‘nomadic’,‘deterritorialising’, on a ‘line of flight’, or producing ‘affect’. Often, however, these words are simply empty signifiers of what is new and trendy, unsupported in any serious way by the philosophy that coined them. Surprisingly little work has actually been done to explore and extend Deleuze and Guattari’s extensive writings on art, art history, and aesthetics into the realm of contemporary art. This collection represents an intervention into this new area of enquiry and contains essays by philosophers and artists, as well as writers from outside the Anglo-American world.
