the substantive contribution of Tristan Palmer, who has unfailingly
supported the project throughout. And, of course, our deepest thanks
to all at The MIT Press for their encouragement and professional expertise
in the preparation of this volume.
For us as editors, the central intellectual formations for this book
first arose and have been continually developed through discussions held
over the past decade at The Bartlett, University College London. We are
grateful to faculty and students at the various institutions where we have
been tutors, particularly The Bartlett, University of North London, Middlesex
University, University of Nottingham, Royal College of Art, Winchester
School of Art, and Chelsea College of Art and Design.
Most important, we wish to express our gratitude to all of the contributors—both
to this book and to previous Strangely Familiar manifestations.
Their patience, efforts, and engagement lie at the core of the project.
