The second session of YOUNG to young international Collaborative Curriculum workshop will be fully launched in 2020, School of Design and Innovation（SDI）, China Academy of Art (CAA).
YOUNG to young is an international curriculum project of the third semester for both level 1&2 students in SDI of CAA and also the first global joint teaching experiment that attempts to reorganize students in different classes, which is different from the traditional teaching model. We applied “Playshop” as the theme of the first session of YOUNG to young. “Playshop” is a variant "Workshop", translated as “玩吧”(Come to Play) in Chinese. We intend to hide all teaching and learning in “playing”, but at the same time our purpose is to “play”.
Continuing the open call of the first session, we send our sincere invitations to outstanding young designers, artists, scientists and innovators worldwide this year and look forward to your participation in this dynamic teaching operation.
We are planning to launch the theme of “Illusion” for the second session of YOUNG to young International Collaborative Curriculum Workshop, in order to think and practice a new transcendental system in the context of contemporary technology and art. "Illusion" was once defined as the basic way of existence of art (Suzanne Langer), putting us together in the “Identity Illusion” through virtual scene and mirror images (Jacques Lacan) and under the visual control surrounded by the simulacrum and dominated by the illusion, it is impossible to tell which is true and which is false (Baudrillard). Is "Illusion" a projector, a dream machine, a distorting mirror, a rabbit hole, or a fairy stick? Let us hazard with our students to develop and decipher the word "illusion" again, or simply to create a larger hyper-illusion.
The expenses we promise to cover include transport fees (Economy class in flights) for invited tutors, accommodation and work meals during the course. During your residency and teaching in CAA, we will organize academic round-table seminars, short investigating trips at weekends and theme parties. After the course, we will invite you to participate in the final exhibition together with students. Additionally, we will also distribute allowances to each tutor, according to regulations on school foreign affairs and financial management.
