"Rather than merely offering a dry recounting of Rosemarie Trockel's career, sprinkled occasionally with analyses of key artworks, Schizogenesis uses the occasion of scholars' and critics' perplexity as an invitation to perform-imaginatively and enthrallingly-the associative and ever-branching readings which Trockel's art beckons."-Jane Blocker, author of Becoming Past: History in Contemporary Art"Katherine Guinness’s guiding concept of schizogenesis ingeniously frames Rosemarie Trockel’s multilayered practice in terms of split production and rapid regeneration, metaphors of procreation that simultaneously evoke destruction and violence. Written in lively, witty prose, this book does justice to Trockel’s complex works by thinking of them as ‘theoretical objects’ that demand Guinness’s extended, probing analyses."-Gregory H. Williams, author of Permission to Laugh: Humor and Politics in Contemporary German Art
