First CRR Blog
Welcome to the Technology Ministry’s first addition to the 2010 CRR blog!
The Technology Ministry team will post news and information related to the CRR, the Chinese Immersion Program, or anything China to share interesting bits of information, noteworthy news, items of interest, or other items related to China to practice inputting information on the blog in preparation for the class trip.
Did you know…………….
The Portland Art Museum is hosting a special exhibit called CHINA DESIGN NOW.
As reported on the Portland Art Museum website, “Made in China has long been a familiar concept, but over the past 20 years, massive cultural and economic changes have given meaning to a new notion: “designed in China.” The exhibition China Design Now reveals how designers, architects, filmmakers, and artists have transformed Chinese design from imitation to innovation, leading to the rise of a new design dynasty. The approximately 100 designers whose work is featured in this exhibition have, collectively, defined a new aesthetic that reinterprets traditional Chinese forms, references global youth culture, and responds to the dreams and desires of a rising middle class. This new entrepreneurial spirit is reflected in the runway trends, street posters, photography, interior design, architectural projects, advertising, and consumer products presented in the exhibition.
China Design Now is structured in three thematic sections, leading visitors on a journey from south to north along China’s coast: through Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing. Each city is a starting point for the exploration of different design fields – graphic design and visual culture in Shenzhen, fashion and lifestyle in Shanghai, and architecture and urban spaces in Beijing.”
CHINA DESIGN NOW runs until January 17, 2010. To learn more about this special exhibit, please see http://specialexhibitions.pam.org/chinadesignnow/about/ .
