The present publication is an introduction to Lingnan University's first Visual Studies Artist-In-Residence Programme in 2006. Every year two emerging or established artists will be brought to the university for a period of three months, and during this time they will be actively engaged in producing art in a studio on campus. Students will be able to interact with the visiting artists in small studio-based courses, just as they will be able to participate in a series of Master Classes aimed both at Visual Studies students and the Lingnan community at large. For this year, Lam Tungpang (Hong Kong) and Jayne Dyer (Australia) were the invited artists. Lam's biography is provided in the book.
