Six authors
two fine artists, a dancer, a creative writer, a designer and a philosopher
participate in the first systematic reading of Gilles Deleuze's mature philosophy through the lens of creative practice. For arts practitioners, this book provides a way to engage creatively with the ideas of Deleuze; for philosophers, it maintains a rigorous relationship to Deleuze's texts including Difference and Repetition and A Thousand Plateaus, and demonstrates how to engage conceptually with arts practitioners. Practising with Deleuze is focused around key aspects of production: forming, framing, experiencing, encountering and practising. These multiple dialogues reflect the engagement of contemporary creative practices with the generative philosophy of Deleuze.

Reviews for Practising with Deleuze: Design, Dance, Art, Writing, Philosophy
"The artists and philosophers assembled here deliver profound meditations on the largely unexamined topic of Deleuze and practice, touching on the philosophy of practice, the practice of philosophy, and various Deleuzian practices in painting, sculpture, curating, dance, interior design and architecture. Fresh, engaging and provocative from start to finish.-- ""Ronald Lynn Bogue, University of Georgia"""
