Tuesday 1st September     6pm - 8pm

Dan Graham Pavilion, Hayward Gallery

Sam McAuliffe and Consortium student Sandra Plummer will be in conversation on the concept of the ‘thought-event’. McAuliffe will address the logic specific to the incommensurability between the being of the possible and the actual that the event gives to be thought. Plummer will consider thought via Deleuze’s account of maps and trajectories in his Essays Critical and Clinical and his concept of the phantasm in Logic of Sense. The discussion will explore what these ideas convey in relation to the event of thought in the exhibition Walking in My Mind currently showing at Hayward Gallery.

For those wishing to attend the following texts are suggested as contextual material:

Gilles Deleuze, ‘The Exhausted’, in Essays Critical and Clinical (London and New York: Verso, 1998).

Gilles Deleuze, ‘Thirtieth Series of the Phantasm’, in Logic of Sense (London: Continuum, 2004).

Gilles Deleuze, Foucault, ed. and trans. Seán Hand (London: Athlone Press, 1998).
