MA Qiusha Solo Exhibition in Beijing Commune 2016

MA Qiusha
EIA MFA of Class 2006-2008
http://www.maqiusha.com/

Beijing Commune is pleased to announce the opening of Ma Qiusha's fifth solo exhibition "Wonderland" at the gallery on June 15th, 2016. The exhibition will continue until August 6th, 2016.

Exhibition title "Wonderland" derives from a mega-scale amusement part extravagantly built in the 1990s in Changping District, the fringe of Beijing City. Like the Chinese exhibition title "沃德兰" , the park's Chinese name was a phonetic transliteration from the English word. Eagerly anticipated at the time, giant town of spectacles and ambition claim to be the "world's largest amusement park", only to find itself decayed for complex reasons and was eventually quietly demolished after decades of abandonment.

展览名称“沃德兰”取自北京昌平九十年代斥巨资建造的巨型游乐园的名字,也是英文单词“wonderland”的汉语音译。这座充满了奇幻与雄心的巨城被寄予了热烈的期望,号称当时的世界第一大乐园,却由于复杂的原因而烂尾,直至荒废数十年后被悄然拆除。

Congratulations to Professor Andrew Deutsch for his Exhibition at the Burchfield Penny Art Center!

The biggest collection of Expanded Media Professor Andrew Deutsch's sculptures, sound art and videos ever exhibited will be on view at the Burchfield Penny Art Center in Buffalo, NY. Here is a description of the exhibit along with some images of the show during installation. The exhibit is up until July 24, 2016. If you're in the area please stop by and check out his amazing work!


OBJECT AS ENERGY POINT

On View Friday, April 8–Sunday, July 24, 2016
Object as Energy Point is an evolving and growing piece which started in 1995 – it began with a 12 x 6 inch wooden box. Created by artist Andrew Deutsch, every object in the show is a loudspeaker, a transducer, or a metaphor for a speaker. It incorporates ceramic glazed elements as metaphors for "klangfarben" and their arrangement as "klangfarbenmelodie" (tone color and tone color melody).
The installation extends beyond a symphonic-sculptural speaker display to include videos or "Electro-dynamic Drawings". The projected visual content is generated by a process in which sound is the source for the image (this is known as audio reactive art). The result is a visual electronic landscape, generated by and inter-modulated with sound.

Connecting to the Community Through Design.

Professor Judy Livingston's junior-level Graphic Design Systems studio is currently working with Foodlink, the Rochester and Finger Lakes regional food hub. The project includes designing a new logo and a new visual identity system. As part of the project, the class designed a poster promoting the mission and vision of Foodlink. The poster project was shared with senior design students at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. 


Design students presented their new Foodlink visual identity designs to Terra Keller, Chief of Staff, Foodlink. The visual identity systems include logos, packaging, website landing pages, brochures, and posters. The posters, currently on view in the School of Art and Design lobby, will also be exhibited at Rowan University in the Fall.
