Transmission: speaking and listening
The first volume in new series from the School of Cultural Studies at
Sheffield Hallam University and Site Gallery.
This publication has come out of a lecture series in which artists, and
occasionally speakers from other disciplines, present a discourse on their
practices. The series is a collaboration between Site Gallery, Sheffield
Hallam University School of Cultural Studies and the Showroom Cinema, which
in allowing access to a wider public, has opened debate. Although the
lectures are absent from this book, the speakers retain their presence in
other ways; through short introductory texts to their practice, works
conceived for the pages, and as a dialogue with others. Two essays, by Jane
Rendell and Duncan McLaren frame the discussions. The essays, like the
discussions, explore what it means to speak, to listen, and to construct
meaning or work in the interstice between the two.
