Jayne Parker, Professor of Fine Art, UCL Slade School of Fine Art, delivers her Inaugural Lecture: Light, Film, Sound, Stone

About the lecture

“Without light there is no film.” 16mm film, analogue photographs, photograms, objects, musical instruments and stone carving: this lecture reflects on materiality, the body’s performance and the desire for transformation.

About the speaker

Jayne Parker is Professor of Fine Art and Head of Graduate Fine Art Media at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL. She studied Sculpture at Canterbury College of Art (1977-80) and Experimental Media at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL (1980-82). Her recent work explores the form and expression of music in a search for ‘musical equivalence’. Her films are distributed by LUX and a compilation of her film works was released by the BFI in 2008 in their British Artists' Films series.
