This colloquium hosted by the School of Design of the University of Greenwich explores the relationship between sounds and images, and the images which sounds can construct by themselves.
Through a series of complementary strands – talks, screenings and loudspeaker orchestra concerts – we bring together artists and experts to investigate sound and sound-image phenomena.
The Sound/Image Colloquium runs 9 – 10 November. Colloquium Programme can be viewed here.
The Project Space exhibition is Tue – Sat, 9 – 18 November.

Conference Dinner:
There will be a 3-course conference dinner, price £45 per person on Saturday 9 November, at 8.30 pm which can be booked when selecting tickets.
Chaired by Keep the Door of My Lips curators Professor Andrew King and Connie Gallagher this open discussion will follow the many topics that this exhibition covers; including, but not confined to, work, working conditions, the effects of work, escape from work, being without work, gender and work, ethnicity and work, and class and work.
Keep the Door of My Lips is an exhibition curated by Professor Andrew King and Connie Gallagher that explores the continuing influence of Victorian ideas about ‘work’. Displaying images from Victorian periodicals and trade magazines alongside research by Professor Andrew King and featured artworks, this exhibition – by turns beautiful, heroic, shocking, comforting, unsettling – wants to get us to think about what work really means for us.
A lecture by Helen Robertson on architecture and the photographic work of Mary Maclean.
In Mary Maclean’s photographic work, it is as if viewfinder and architectural frame conjoin in a choreographic process that undoes the stability of body and built environment. This potential to think architecture as relational rather than determinate will be discussed with reference to Maclean’s photographic practice, works of 20th and 21st century architecture, cinema and art.
Helen Robertson is a London based artist and Lecturer in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins and Camberwell College of Arts.
To be held in the Lecture Theatre 11_0004 at the University of Greenwich, Stockwell Street Building. The talk coincides with the Mary Maclean exhibition in the adjacent Stephen Lawrence Gallery.
This event is free and open to the public.
