EXPO
The annual masters EXPO from the fine art, TVI and design schools of Duncan of Jordanstone demonstrates the diversity of contemporary creative practice and brings together art, design and science, through the combination of technology, ideas, culture and creativity.
Kevin Henderson, course director: "The postgraduate programmes embrace not only new and emergent areas of practise, but also traditional areas of concern, and celebrate the inherent diversity in each year's participants."
These professional and emerging artists and designers are the future innovators and entrepreneurs. Their work includes painting, video, installation, inter-active and web work, performance art, jewellery, product design, sound and print while many simultaneously explore the interstices between such areas of practise. The exhibition is running in three venues, Duncan of Jordanstone from November 30 - December 2, the Visual Research Centre at DCA from November 30 - December 16 and Cinema 2 at DCA from December 1-9.

A beautiful ceramic collection has been donated to the University from Hanyang Women's College, Seoul, Korea to seal the goodwill between the two institutions.
The collection is part of an exhibition hosted by Duncan of Jordanstone last year which incorporated works by seven professors from the Ceramic Research Institute, part of the Hanyang Women's College in Seoul, Korea.
The University operates an exchange programme with Hanyang Women's College and the ceramics department. Here the Korean students complete their degrees attending the third and fourth year ceramics courses. While the students studied traditional Korean ceramic form in Hanyang College, they explored a western technique at Duncan of Jordanstone. Chang Koo Lee, President of Hangyan Women's College said: "It is important to accomplish educational achievement through exchanging work, while respecting each other's cultural traditions and contributing to the cultural development from the world-wide perspective."
The ceramics are now on display in the Tower foyer.
