Deleuze, Guattari and the Production of the New

Simon O'Sullivan is Lecturer in Art History/ Visual Culture at Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK. He is the author of Art Encounters Deleuze and Guattari: Thought Beyond Representation (Palgrave, 2005). Stephen Zepke is an independent researcher living in Vienna, Austria. He is the author of Art as Abstract Machine: Ontology and Aesthetics in Deleuze and Guattari (Routledge, 2005).

"The collection is...a strong one: well-written, entertaining and diverse. Further, its lack of formal structure and closure does have certain advantages, not the least that it remains true to some of Deleuze and Guattari's key ethical imperatives, namely: the importance of opening up movement and forging rhizomatic and transversal connections between problems and concepts." Notre Dame: Philosophical Reviews, January 2010
