From Artsie comes a great site for all of the expat artists out there to meet and collaborate:

Artist Networking Site: http://expatartsnetwork.ning.com/

3C world is the facebook of creativity. The aim for 3C is to focus on ‘bringing the world closer together through creative endeavors’. The site provides a platform to be successful in the country in which you find yourself. We focus on the word ‘creative’ rather than arts because we want to be open to both commercial and applied arts. Also, if you a visual, performance, written artist; curator, critic, designer, or perhaps just interested in the creative arts…ect. there are groups for you.

Come join the community.

Duksung Women’s University Interior Design Studio Designs for Seoul Museum of History Plaza

Six Spatial Culture Interior Design students from Duksung Women’s University, under the mentorship of Visiting Professor Marga Jann, AIA, RIBA (Principal, POETIC LICENSE), have been inspired to redesign the Museum of History plaza area. The redesign was the subject of a competition sponsored by the Museum last year, with URI Environment Design Firm Inc winning first prize. The Duksung design team presented their work to both URI and Museum Director Kim in May, and hopefully some of their ideas, like the smart glass history clock and exhibit banners, outdoor movie theater, sound and light show, patchwork landscaping and zig-zag stream, will be reflected in the final, built design.

The Duksung studio examined the implications of designing for other cultures, working on the Museum plaza as a contemporary interpretation of Korean culture, and public areas for the U.S. Embassy here as a counterpoint. Students particularly enjoyed the opportunity to work with the Museum staff and URI directly; they made numerous visits to and presentations at the museum, and received critique input from the museum curators as well as visiting professionals Moon Eun-Mi and Don Shaw.
