An exhibition which presents the experiences and outcomes of the
2014 Charnwood Arts (UK) Internship, led by Assistant Professor
Ming Turner from the Institute of Creative Industries Design
(ICID), National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), will be staged at
C-Hub from March 9 to 13.
The exhibition will display a selected body of photographs,
taken by a group of NCKU students during the internship period,
covering their work, life and play while in the UK.
According to Turner, the team is composed of 10 MA and Ph.D.
students from ICID, who traveled to the UK and worked with
Charnwood Arts from July 21 until September 1 in 2014.
A short film was produced to document some of the key moments
and events during the internship.
The ICID Ph.D. student Ho Ching-Chwang, who is also a
contemporary calligraphy artist, will exhibit a series of works
which she made during her visit to the UK.
Several sound pieces which are edited recordings of sound from
the environment in Loughborough and its locals and created by the
interns will also be included in the show.
Turner said that the internship project was supported with
generous funding from the Ministry of Education and NCKU. “The
internship was very successful and beneficial, both to the students
involved and to Charnwood Arts itself,” she added.
She also said, with the generous support of the CEO of Charnwood
Arts, Kevin Ryan, several workshops with visual, performance and
sound artists in the UK were organized for the students,
specifically to provide both general and essential skills for event
management and the development of arts activities.
Kevin Ryan will be visiting NCKU from March 2 to 15. Kevin will
deliver a talk introducing Charnwood Arts as a NGO and cultural
organization, and will explain its engagement with local
communities via the means of art.
The talk is scheduled for Thursday March 5, from 3-5 p.m., to be
held at ICID (5F of the Shakeproof Building).
A discussion forum with Kevin, all interns and Assistant
Professor Turner, will be held on March 12, from 2-5 p.m. on the
3rd floor at C-Hub, during which they will share details their
experiences during the internship.
