In this article we consider the theoretical and methodological implications of Deleuzian fabulation for research on recovery from drugs and alcohol as an alternative way of making and doing methods in sociology. The article draws on data produced as part of an ongoing interdisciplinary research collaboration, begun in 2019, with the visual artist and filmmaker Melanie Manchot, social scientists Nicole Vitellone and Lena Theodoropoulou, and people in recovery from drugs and alcohol engaged in the production of Manchot’s first feature film STEPHEN.

Until October 2026

Alpine Diskomiks in “Isa Mona Lisa” at Kunsthalle Hamburg, Germany
»Isa Mona Lisa« is the ironic and playful title chosen for a large-scale exhibition that provides a lively glimpse of recent art via a selection of unusual works by international contemporary artists. The title is taken from an eponymous photograph by Wolfgang Tillmans (b. 1968) of his artist colleague Isa Genzken (b. 1948), and both are represented with works in the exhibition. Visitors will encounter specially furnished artist rooms featuring new acquisitions by the Hamburger Kunsthalle, most of them presented for the first time, as well as iconic works from the collection and others that can now be put on display thanks to a recently launched collaboration with an important private collection in Hamburg. The selected exhibits – which include paintings, drawings, photographs and installations – will be presented throughout the basement floor of the Galerie der Gegenwart. Featured artists : Etel Adnan, Elisa Alberti, Helene Appel, Alexandra Bircken, Louise Bourgeois, Thorsten Brinkmann, Nina Canell, Edith Dekyndt, Simon Denny, Gerrit Frohne-Brinkmann, Noi Fuhrer, Asana Fujikawa, Isa Genzken, Donald Judd, Joachim Koester, Maria Lassnig, Jochen Lempert, Dan Lie, Melanie Manchot, Robert Morris, David Novros, Silke Otto-Knapp, Sigmar Polke, Neo Rauch, Gerhard Richter, Andreas Slominski, Hyun-Sook Song, Andrzej Steinbach, Paul Thek, Wolfgang Tillmans, Thu Vân Trần, Haegue Yang.
