Hello,

I just discovered that the Tate gallery in London is holding a conference on 
Deleuze,

http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/programmes/events.htm

Friday 21 September, 10.30 - 18.30 
Saturday 22 September , 11.00-18.30 Starr Auditorium
Immanent Choreographies: Deleuze and Neo-Aesthetics 
 
The writings of Gilles Deleuze, and his collaborations with Félix Guattari, 
have had a major impact on theory and practice in many disciplines. This 
two-day event, a series of presentations and performances, brings together an 
international range of contributors to consider some of the ways in which 
Deleuze's thought has been taken up and put to work in different media and 
art forms. 

It sets out to explore the power of Deleuzian neo-aesthetics, and also its 
limits. To what extent has it transformed the production and reception of 
contemporary art practices? What is at stake, artistically, politically and 
philosophically, in the adoption of Deleuze by such practices? 

The conference is divided into six sessions: Manuel De Landa, Andres Kurg and 
Helen Stratford on architecture; Alain Badiou, Alexander García Düttmann and 
Iain Mackenzie on politics/ethics; Cristina Caprioli and Pascale Criton on 
music/dance; David Rodowick, Astrid Söderbergh Widding and Peter Hallward on 
cinema; Rosi Braidotti, Ian Buchanan and Dorothea Olkowski on 
gender/sexuality; Robert Fleck, Hans Ulrich Obrist and John Rajchman on 
visual arts.
Tickets £40 (£25 concessions)
A collaboration with Staffordshire University

This event will be webcast.
