He is also developing a course on transversality and popular media for the College of Creative Studies to be offered Fall 2013.</span> </p><p class="text5"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">His most recent book is </span><em>Beckett, Deleuze and the Televisual Event: Peephole Art </em>(Palgrave Macmillan, 2012), a critical study of Samuel Beckett's experimental work for film and television and its connection to Gilles Deleuze's ontology of the image in <em>Cinema 1</em> and <em>Cinema 2</em>. Excerpts have appeared in <em>Deleuze Studies </em>Journal (2012) and Continuum Books' <em>Gilles Deleuze: Image and Te</em>xt (2009). Gardner contributed the chapter on Roland Barthes to Felicity Colman's <em>Film, Theory & Philosophy: The Key Thinkers </em>(Acumen, 2009) and is currently collaborating with Dr. Colman on a Three Volume <em>Encyclopedia of Film-Philosophy</em>, due to be published in 2015, which attempts to bridge the gap between continental and analytic approaches.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p><p><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">Gardner has also published two books in Manchester University Press’s “British Film Makers” series: a critical study of the blacklisted American film director, Joseph Losey (2004), and a monograph on the Czech-born, British filmmaker and critic, Karel Reisz (2006). The latter study led to his being a featured interviewee in <em>Karel Reisz: This Filming Life</em>, <span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: #000000;">a 2012 Czech documentary film produced by Jarmila Hoznauerová and directed by Petra Všelichová (a Co-Production of Czech Television – Ostrava Telvision Studio). Related research on Losey has also appeared in Trudy Bolter</span></span></span><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">’s <em>Le politique éclaté </em>(Paris: L’Harmattan); the Franco-American film journal, <em>Iris</em>; the Parisian web-based theoretical journal, <em>Critical Secret </em>No. 6 (2001), <em>Interdisciplinary Humanities </em>(2002), <em>Media History </em>(2006), and Lo Sguardo dei Maestri's <em>Joseph Losey: Senza Re, Senza Patria </em>(Milan: Il Castoro, 2010). Gardner is also the author of critical essays on Bob Rafelson’s <em>Five Easy Pieces </em>(for Creation Books' <em>Jack Nicholson: Movie Top Ten, </em>edited by Mikita Brottman); as well as a theoretical study of Diana Thater’s video installations in <em>Space, Site, Intervention: Situating Installation Art </em>(Erika Suderberg, ed.) for the University of Minnesota Press.</span> </p><p><span style="font-size: small;">His extensive list of catalog monographs includes essays on Mike Kelley for the Whitney Museum of American Art, John Baldessari for the Graphische Sammlung, Albertina in Vienna, Wallace Berman for Amsterdam's Institute of Contemporary Art, video artist Rachel Khedoori for the Kunsthalle in Basel and Mike Bouchet's film works for Sternberg Press in Berlin. On a local level, Gardner has worked extensively with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (as blogger, panelist and lecturer) and the Contemporary Arts Forum (CAF), including catalog essays for Sandow Birk's “Prisonation” series, Linda Stark's “Runaway Love” retrospective, and the 2001 group exhibition, “Diabolical Beauty,” co-curated with UCSB Professor, Jane Callister. Gardner was also co-curator and co-editor of <em>Damaged Romanticism: A Mirror of Modern Emotion</em>, an exhibition and accompanying book that was initiated by the Blaffer Gallery in Houston in 2008 and subsequently traveled to the Grey Gallery at NYU and the Parrish Museum on Long Island.</span> </p><p class="text5"><span style="font-size: small;">Most recently Dr. Gardner has expanded his research into the area of Media Geography (he was adjunct faculty in Geography at San Diego State University from 2011-12). This has taken the form of conference papers as well as a chapter on Tomas Gutierrez Alea's seminal Cuban film, "Memories of Underdevelopment" in James Craine, Giorgio Curti and Stuart Aitken's collection, <em>The Fight To Stay Put: Social Lessons Through Media Imaginings of Urban Transformation and Change </em>(Franz Steiner Verlag, 2013). He is currently developing an essay on Stan Douglas for James Craine's forthcoming Ashgate collection, <em>A Companion to Media Geography: Place/Space/Media. </em></span> </p><p class="text5"><span style="font-size: small;">Apart from regular attendance at Francophone, Deleuze Studies and Film-Philosophy conferences throughout Europe and the US, Gardner's public lectures include a keynote address for Loyola Marymount University's Operation STEAMroller interdisciplinary conference in 2012; discussions of Stan Douglas’s video work at Cal Arts and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Diana Thater’s “Knots + Surfaces” projected DVD installation for New York’s Dia Center for Arts’ Robert Lehman Lecture Series (published in 2006); “Decentered Spectatorship: Constructing a Hybrid Scopic Space in Recent Art Film and Video,” at Louisville’s Speed Art Museum; and an analysis of cinema and the brain for Warren Neidich’s “The Mutated Observer: Neurological Structures, Perception and Visual Culture” at UC Riverside’s California Museum of Photography. </span></p><p> </p><p class="text5"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://www.colingardner.net/">https://www.colingardner.net/</a></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><img src="/sites/default/files/imported/people/faculty/images/colinrgardner.jpg" alt="" /></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #888888;"><img src="/sites/default/files/imported/people/faculty/images/colin2.jpg" border="1" alt="" width="120" height="182" /></span><img src="/sites/default/files/imported/people/faculty/images/colin3.jpg" border="1" alt="" width="127" height="182" /><a href="/sites/default/files/imagepicker/11/Jack_2.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img style="width: 132px; height: 179px;" src="/sites/default/files/imagepicker/11/Jack_2.jpg" alt="Image" /></a><img src="/sites/default/files/imported/people/faculty/images/colin6.jpg" border="1" alt="" width="124" height="179" /><img src="/sites/default/files/imported/people/faculty/images/colin5.jpg" alt="" width="144" height="179" /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #888888;"><span style="background-color: #888888;"><a href="/sites/default/files/imagepicker/11/Colman_3.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img style="float: left;" src="/sites/default/files/imagepicker/11/Colman_3.jpg" alt="Image" width="130" height="180" /></a></span><span style="background-color: #888888;"><span style="background-color: #888888;"><span style="background-color: #888888;"><span style="background-color: #888888;"><img style="float: left;" src="/sites/default/files/imagepicker/11/Deleuze.jpg" alt="Image" width="122" height="179" /></span></span></span></span><a href="/sites/default/files/imagepicker/11/Losey_2.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="/sites/default/files/imagepicker/11/Losey_2.jpg" alt="Image" width="129" height="179" /></a></span><a href="/sites/default/files/imagepicker/11/Losey_2.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img class="cover" src="https://coverart.oclc.org/ImageWebSvc/oclc/+-+041758289_140.jpg?SearchOrder=+-+OT,OS,FA,GO" border="0" alt="Mike Bouchet : selected works 1989-2009" width="140" /></a><img id="summary-frontcover" title="Front Cover" src="https://bks2.books.google.com/books?id=1JZIAQAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&imgtk=AFLRE73jeY5mrsazoCG8sFbxV_L7zLc8u0GozEgH6bvCU9jKW41IArDY75GlCLPST3qrZz7Er_OXqGM6-0frbgPVpk-nedAQSpEGt7OnKkva_b-_caM6JiMhkSPJr6vPciVL90FC5z96" border="1" alt="Front Cover" width="128" height="179" /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/9080096830/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books" target="AmazonHelp" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/0874270871/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books" target="AmazonHelp" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a></span></p><p> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p><hr />
