The Show.

The day we finally exhibited our work was a roller coaster. We started our day early. Very early. Everyone had finishing touches to put on their projects. We had sculptures, flash animations, movies, paintings, graphics, and photography. It was a great show and really interesting to see how the digital animation students from SUAD worked with the Oregon students who varied in medians.

The space we installed our work in was so awesome. They build the structure a little over a year ago, and it used as a museum and gallery for the school. Along with our show was a few folk art exhibits. (on different floors)






We went to President Pan's office for a private speech and photo-shoot (pictures to come), then walked back to the exhibition hall where speeches were given and the ribbon was cut.




The theme for all my works was 'One World. One Dream' which was the Beijing Olympic phrase. And my inspiration came from a combination of the fact that those words were plastered everywhere, the fact that Beijing (and all major cities in China which I have know come to learn) is super crowded, and from some propaganda posters I saw while visiting the 798 art district.


My wall. ( I plan to upload the actual graphics sometime soon)


President Pan checkin it out. He told Professor Tan he thought it was 'extraordinary'


The masses.
