Congratulation
Congratulations on the success of two postgraduates from the School of Communication Design
Jooyoung Sohn was awarded her PhD this week subject to University confirmation. Her thesis is entitled Theories and Practices of Meaning-Making Among Design Professionals: An Empirical Case Study In The Design Museum London. It was warmly praised by the Externals as a pioneer study to support curatorial practice. Her supervisors were Catherine McDermott and Wayne Jefferson. Jooyoung will return to Korea next month to start a prestigious new post as Curator at Seoul National University Museum MoA, (www.snumoa.org/) the first university museum in Korea dedicated exclusively to modern and contemporary art & design. Designed by world-renown architect Rem Koolhaas the museum was constructed and donated by the Samsung Cultural Foundation. (www.arcspace.com/architects/koolhaas/snum/snum.html)
Kingston's School of Communication graduate Fleur Watson is the Managing Curator of the current State of Design Festival running this month in Melbourne The cultural festival is now a landmark on the Australian design map with over 100 events planned for July. Fleur is a graduate of one of FADA's flagship courses, MA Curating Contemporary Design and has established herself as one of Australia's emerging new design curators. Fleur's more personal project within the Melbourne Festival is entitled 'After Dark' - an interactive late night discussion club held at the Aesop headquarters in Melbourne. After Dark also includes a purpose-built installation produced out of 1.6km of yellow trace by March Studio in collaboration with curatorial practice 'somethingtogether'. www.stateofdesign.com.au/public
