Although the global dispersion of art works and practices enables wider accessibility, the post-digital context presents new challenges for the interpretation of physical objects and artefacts as the perception of such works is often limited to traces and elements that may be understood through the influence of computer technology. Crucially for art this means that interpretation will depend on an audience\u2019s experience and knowledge whose possibilities may be unknown to wider communities. This salon event aims to build a dialogue to share different ways of thinking to grow a community of practice for artistic development that reaches across research and teaching.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How can values and creative ideas circulate across cultures?<\/li>\n<li>Can we construct a shared language of practice?<\/li>\n<li>How can forms of curation afford a pluralised view of art?<\/li>\n<li>How can we consider the balance between East-West perspectives, discourse and values?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Always in Translation<\/em>\u00a0is a salon event that brings people with shared interests together in a relaxed environment where open discussion can flourish. A small group of Chinese painters have been invited to meet artists from the UK to introduce and share perspectives on paintings. Lunch and refreshments will be provided to foster congeniality.<\/p>\n<p>A selection of images from invited participants will be produced as a limited edition print portfolio. This will offer a broad sampling of forms and subject matter encouraging conceptual or formal dialogue and transition between one another.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Featured speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lei Chang,\u00a0Guijun LI,\u00a0Graham Little,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shu.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-people\/staff-profiles\/penny-mccarthy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penny McCarthy<\/a>,\u00a0Paul Morrison,\u00a0Ryan Mosley,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shu.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-people\/staff-profiles\/gary-simmonds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gary Simmonds<\/a>,\u00a0Diana Taylor and\u00a0Jian Wang.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Through the Unknown, we&#8217;ll find the New<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&#8211;\u00a0<em>Les Fleurs du Mal<\/em>,\u00a0Charles Baudelaire (1857)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Always in Translation<\/em>\u00a0is convened by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shu.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-people\/staff-profiles\/col-mccormack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TC McCormack<\/a> (Fine Art, SIA) and Sally Li (Art and Design International Office in Beijing &#8211; Sheffield Hallam University) and with support by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shu.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-people\/staff-profiles\/penny-mccarthy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penny McCarthy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shu.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-people\/staff-profiles\/gary-simmonds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gary Simmonds<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Always in Translation A day of conversations with invited artists, academics and a targeted audience. 11AM &#8211; 4.30PM, Friday 18 January 2019 Site Gallery, Sheffield The metaphor of translation has been used increasingly since the eighteenth century to describe both the activity and the end result of painting, conveying such terms as \u2018reproduce\u2019, \u2018render\u2019 and \u2018express\u2019.
