“The self is only a threshold, a door, a becoming between two multiplicities.” — Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus
Join us for an evening of readings and sonic experimentation to mark the publication of the second volume of Deleuzine, traversing becoming(s) and titled She-Dogs.
Deleuzine: A Zine for Nobodies Without Organs is an experimental publication inspired by the writings of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, as well as figures whose life or work can be said to exemplify aspects of Deleuze’s philosophy of life, including Antonin Artaud, Ezekiel Mphaphele’s Wanderers and Kathy Acker among others. Encompassing the fields of literature, philosophy, ethnography, archaeology, and the arts, the publication aims at a radical exploration of word, image, and printed matter towards beauty, but also aesthetic and political freedom.
As part of this event, we're delighted to welcome Deleuzine contributors Sascha Akhtar, Simon Barraclough, Phoebe Eccles, Hugo Hagger, Suki Hollywood, George Micah Kuhn, Louis Mason, Natascha Nanji, Paola Valentina, Laurence Pritchard, George Finlay Ramsay, and Helen Samuels, for a series of readings.
We’re also very pleased to invite London-based artists and musicians Katie Shannon and Avel Mismo, and the collective Remer Cier, presenting covert operations from a number of notable figures/producers/artists, to join us in exploring becoming through sound and music.
Katie Shannon is Scottish artist based in London whose work moves across visual art, performance, writing, and event-making. Often collaborative and situational, projects unfold through relationships contextually arriving through the conjunctions which they explore. Her ongoing research interests interrogate feminist re-readings of time and space, outsider musical histories, pedestrian and public artforms, and subjective perceptions of the End.
Upcoming exhibitions include Virgin Prune Reprise at CCA Goldsmiths, UK, 2026 and Loiteretto with TLC23 at Vermillion Sands, DK, 2026. Recent solo and collaborative outputs including exhibitions Bedding, TINA, London (2026); Precarious Egg spilling it’s rotten albumen in Time, Bolding, London 2026, DEVECORPOSTO , Neven Gallery, London (2025), TLC23 FETMIASMAMIS, Le Bourgois, London (2023) and TLC23 The Amber Press at ASP fair (2024) and Dortmunder Kunstverein (2024). Former record labels and events include series Domestic Exile with Conal Blake and Alicia Matthews, and So Low with Ribeka and JD Twitch.
Avel Mismo is an experimental producer based in south London. He co-runs the record label ATATA.
Remer Cier is the improvised collective collage work of an evolving network of artists, debuted at Chelsea College of Art in 2017. Working principally with electronic percussion, guitar, broadcast speeches & sub-bass, they have self-released a collaboration recorded at Beaconsfield Gallery, following a cassette released on Manchester label YOUTH. Improvised performances were witnessed at the Royal College of Art, The White Hotel, Block 336, and 5 Gate Temple at Ormside Studios.
