LEGACY: BIG small Artist Irish Wave
Introduction
:
A collaborative exhibition by the staff and students of CIT Crawford College of Art and Design in Cork, the National College of Art & Design in Dublin, the Research Institute of Art & Design at the University of Ulster in Belfast, Shanghai University in Shanghai and Tsinghua Academy of Art & Design, Beijing. This extraordinary exhibition will feature the work of the staff and students of five prestigious Art Colleges coming together for the first time to celebrate the evolving traditions of art education in the two countries. Equally ‘Legacy’ will draw together the teaching staff who are all practising artists themselves at the four institutions and will reflect upon how teaching impacts on their practise. The exhibition will give these artists/teachers the opportunity to exhibit work with their international peers as well as showcasing the creative approaches of the institutions which support them. 'Legacy'will be curated by Fion Gunn (artist/curator) in collaboration with the curators nominated by Tsinghua and Shanghai. It is proposed that the exhibition should open in China during the Irish Festival in March 2013 as part of the IRISH WAVE series of exhibitions. Subsequently the artworks will be transported to Ireland where reciprocal shows will be held in Cork, Dublin and Belfast in venues chosen by the participating Irish institutions. It is anticipated that these shows may last throughout the year after.
