Jacques will read excerpts from The Woman in the Portrait<\/em>, 2014, and from her forthcoming collection of short stories.<\/p>\n Yuen Fong Ling is an artist, researcher, and lecturer based in Sheffield. Completing a PhD at University of Lincoln in 2016, entitled A Body of Relations: Reconfiguring the Life Class<\/em>, and Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Sheffield Institute of Art, Ling is the recipient of the Freelands Artists Programme award 2018\u201320 hosted by Site Gallery.<\/p>\n Juliet Jacques is a writer and filmmaker based in London.

Convened by Sharon Kivland in 2001,\u00a0Transmission<\/em>\u00a0was developed collaboratively with Lesley Sanderson from 2001 to 2004, and with Jasper Joseph-Lester from 2004 to 2012. The\u00a0series is now convened by Sharon Kivland, TC McCormack, Hester\u00a0Reeve,\u00a0and Julie\u00a0Westerman,\u00a0in association with Site\u00a0Gallery,\u00a0Sheffield. The lecture series has an annual theme, and involves students\u00a0from\u00a0Fine\u00a0Art,\u00a0fromundergraduates\u00a0to\u00a0PhDs.<\/p>\n Transmission<\/em> is the passing of information via a channel, and this is the intention of the Transmission<\/em> project. We enquire about the aesthetic and discursive forms required by practices in the field of contemporary art and theory that address sociality and subjectivity. It has encompassed a lecture programme, seminar discussions, an annual symposium, a print portfolio, four series of books: Transmission Annual, The Rules of Engagement, Transmission chapbooks, and five volumes of discussions\/interviews, entitled Transmission: Speaking and Listening. These are published by Artwords Press, London.<\/p>\n Site Gallery\u00a0is Sheffield\u2019s international contemporary art space, specialising in moving image, new media, and performance. Pioneering emerging art practices and ideas, Site works in partnership with local, regional, and international collaborators to nurture artistic talent and support\u00a0the\u00a0development\u00a0of contemporary\u00a0art.\u00a0At\u00a0the\u00a0heart\u00a0of\u00a0what\u00a0Site\u00a0does\u00a0is\u00a0the connection of people\u00a0to\u00a0artists\u00a0and\u00a0to\u00a0art,\u00a0inspiring\u00a0new thinking\u00a0and\u00a0debate\u00a0through\u00a0its\u00a0public\u00a0programmes and participatory\u00a0activity.\u00a0Through\u00a0diverse\u00a0programming,\u00a0Site reveals\u00a0the\u00a0process\u00a0of\u00a0making\u00a0art\u00a0to invite\u00a0its\u00a0audience\u00a0to engage,\u00a0explore,\u00a0and\u00a0connect.\u00a0In\u00a02018\u00a0Site\u00a0Gallery\u00a0re-opened after\u00a0a\u00a0building programme\u00a0which\u00a0trebled\u00a0the\u00a0scale\u00a0of\u00a0its\u00a0public area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A two-part talk, followed by a conversation: Yuen Fong Ling will explore the construction of \u2018self\u2019 through tactical life modelling where the artist\u2019s body is a supplement to other historical bodies, focusing on the recent project Towards Memorial, which examines the legacy of socialist, writer, poet, and activist Edward Carpenter (1844 \u20131929), through the making, gifting, and wearing of a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8633,"featured_media":6086,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[103,139],"tags":[5,986,740,147,533,553],"class_list":["post-6084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-news","tag-art-and-design-research-centre","tag-juliet-jacques","tag-sheffield","tag-site-gallery","tag-transmission","tag-yuen-fong-ling"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/c3riimpact\/files\/2019\/02\/2019-02-TRANSMISSION-Ling-and-Jacques.jpg?fit=890%2C290&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8oFHo-1A8","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":13027,"url":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/c3riimpact\/new-exhibition-by-yuen-fong-ling-at-graves-gallery-launching-april-17-2024\/","url_meta":{"origin":6084,"position":0},"title":"New exhibition by Yuen Fong Ling at Graves Gallery launching 17 April 2024","author":"Phoebe Bolton","date":"12\/04\/2024","format":false,"excerpt":"We are the Monument,\u00a0a new exhibition by Yuen Fong Ling, presents his work\u00a0Monumentalise\u00a0(2023) alongside collection highlights to explore the complex power of the plinth at Graves Gallery.
