Artist Tour: We are the Monument with Yuen Fong Ling

Wed 24 April 2024

Graves Gallery

Join artist Yuen Fong Ling for a tour of his new exhibition, We are the Monument at the Graves Gallery. 

 

Hear about how We are the Monument explores the ways in which the plinth can be seen as a social, political, and cultural symbol and encourages us to consider the significance of those represented on, or in opposition to, the plinth.  

On this tour Ling will discuss his curatorial choices, and newly commissioned work Monumentalise (2023), made in response to artworks and objects from Sheffield’s collections.  

The series was made during Ling’s residency at Sheffield Museums as part of the UAL: Decolonising Arts Institute 20/20 project. This brings together 20 artists of colour and 20 UK public art collections leading to 20 new acquisitions. We are the Monument is on display at the Graves Gallery until December 2024.
