CDR – Place Identity , 7-9pm 25th June 2009
——————————————–
Chinese Designers’ Region(CDR) is delighted to invite you for a lecture by Fei Wang who is currently a visiting teacher at Architectural Association School. This lecture is the closing lecture he gave for Cincinnati Art Museum’s current exhibition – “China Design Now” moved from V&A Museum last year. Fei Wang is a Ph.D Candidate at McGill University and also teaching at University of Michigan, USA.
Three Studies on Heterogeneity in China, 45mins
(between the 18th Century and contemporary)
To encourage the conversation we will also broadcast two short films by CDR members :
Memory of Home, 10mins
Film directed by Kiki Tianqi Yu, sound design by Tiantian Zhu
The Uncertain City, 4:39mins
Film directed by Ann Xiao
Kiki’s documentary film is trying to explore the perception of place identity by combining documentary with fiction while Ann’s animation film brings us into an artistic imagination of an uncertain city. Both of them will bring out a discussion on representation of place identity.
All welcome, advance booking is required. For more details and join us, please R.S.V.P to cdrsubscription@googlemail.com .
