Co-Core -open critique session

12.-14.12.2012 / 09:00 - 19:00

Rather than showing off the finished work, Co-Core intends to mix the formats of exhibition and pedagogical presence. Co-Core is a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary project aiming at presenting and discussing student works in a rich dialogue with teachers and students from different universities.

School of Arts, Design and Architecture, Department of Design, has been involved in the Co-Core project since its’ beginning in 2008. The other partner universities are Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University (China), Central Academy of Fine Arts (China), Tama Art University (Japan) and College of Fine Arts, Hongik University (South-Korea).

The next Co-Core event will be held in Helsinki in December 2012.
