If you happen to be in London, this is an event not to be missed!

The Shadow of Language brings together thinkers ad artists from the UK and China. The conference aims to discuss the rich relations between the verbal and the visual, with particular reference to the still and the moving image. It will provide a research context for a reflection upon the persistence and the necessity of shadows, in art and language. It seeks to call into question the demands for clarity, efficiency and instrumentality that produces a shadowless world

21 – 22 November 2012, London

in collaboration with the Image and Language Research Group, Royal College of Art
