WORK completed by dozens of students from some of the UK’s most innovative postgraduate courses is set to be exhibited online.
The Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design Masters Showcase, which usually attracts thousands of visitors each year, will be taking place fully online next month.
More than 60 students from the Dundee institution will be displaying transformative design and visually stunning art that has been created on courses including MSc Animation and VFX, MFA Art and Humanities, MDes Comics and Graphic Novels, MSc Forensic Art and Facial Identification, MSc Medical Art, and MSc Product Design.
The exhibition’s launch will be broadcast live online on October 16 at 6-7pm to students, staff, families, friends and other visitors.
This event will see students discuss the inspiration behind their work, and will share messages of support and congratulations from members of the Duncan of Jordanstone community.
Taking place until October 25, a series of online speaker events will also take place through the week.
Professor Anita Taylor, dean of Duncan of Jordanstone, said: “These students have produced an incredibly thought-provoking body of work, which is all the more impressive given the fact they have done so in extremely difficult circumstances.
“We wish we could present a physical exhibition and opening event to celebrate the work of our students, but while that is unfortunately impossible in the current context we remain committed to creating the best possible platform for them.
“The Masters Showcase, accompanying social media campaign and online events will allow us to share the achievements of our fantastic postgraduate students with public and professional communities, friends and families alike.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
