Introduction: Three Beginnings -- Rhizomes, Machines, Multiplicities and Maps: Manifesto for an Expanded Art Practice (Beyond Representation) -- The Ethicoaesthetics of Affect and the Bloc of Sensations: Reaffirming the Specificity of Art (Against Representation) -- Art and the Political: Minor Literature, War Machines and the Production of Subjectivity -- From Geophilosophy to Geoaesthetics: The Virtual and The Plane of Immanence vs. Mirror Travel and The Spiral Jetty -- From Possible Worlds to Future Folds: Abstracts, Situationist Cities and the Baroque in Art -- Conclusion: Three Endings
Summary: Develops an immanent approach to modern and contemporary art. The argument is made for a return to an aesthetics of affect, and for the theorization of art as an expanded and complex practice. This book covers specific Deleuzian concepts, and the work of artists that position their work outside of the gallery or 'outside' of representation. In a series of philosophical discussions and artistic case studies, this volume develops a materialist and immanent approach to modern and contemporary art. The argument is made for a return to aesthetics - an aesthetics of affect - and for the theorization of art as an expanded and complex practice. Staging a series of encounters between specific Deleuzian concepts - the virtual, the minor, the fold, etc. - and the work of artists that position their work outside of the gallery or 'outside' of representation - Simon O'Sullivan takes Deleuze's thought into other milieus, allowing these 'possible worlds' to work back on philosophy
