Stichting Modulus (NL)

[:en]Stichting Modulus was founded in 2014 as an arts platform that focuses on innovative, grassroots projects that engage the public, challenge and confront, ask questions, and offer a different outlook and philosophy on how we can exist in today’s society. We are committed to engaging with the community at large, nationally and internationally, and creating the space, time, and context for people to slow down and reflect. We are also committed to investing in the future, through our own means or by collaborating with schools, universities, and organizations to offer alternative perspectives to the younger generation. Through our activities, we seek to function as a bridge between different worlds and audiences, bringing together, for example, established contemporary art with the underground, publics from disparate spheres and locations, diverse media and approaches. We have a very broad approach to media and discipline, and seek to partner with likeminded initiatives that help inform but also challenge us, and widen our reach and impact. In seeking these partnerships, we are in search of true collaborations where ideas are discussed and shared, where openness to diverging or opposing opinions is fundamental, inviting the influence and evolution they can have on us.[:][:][:Tw]創始於2014 的 Stichting Modulus 是一個關注公眾及草根議題，推動具創意性和批判性藝術作品和行為的平台。Stichting Modulus 的一系列活動主動切入包含地方和國際等不同層面的社會問題，以及不同尺度的共有共享意識，進而來形成一種讓個體能夠放慢思考和體驗的時空環境，改變既有行為和觀念。Stichting Modulus 一個重要的目標是透過和學校和大專院校等教育機構的合作來啟發及孕育年輕人對於未來的前衛觀念和想像，同時也促進現代藝術和另類文化之間橫跨不同地點，時空，介面等溝通的橋樑。Stichting Modulus 重視藝術的實驗性，媒介的多樣性，以及合作的廣泛性，相信過程中意見和方法的差異性是突破既有概念和模式必要的動力。 Stichting Modulus 當下最重點的活動是一年一度在荷蘭海牙市舉辦的 Modern Body Festival，邀請國際藝術領域中著名藝術家來面對大眾發表或發展特殊且有意義的作品。2014 年首季的活動ModernBody 合作對象包括教育，文化，商業界等組織，包括文化產業空間再利用之管理，前衛獨立電子音樂中心，聲音藝術和研究中心，音樂學院和大學中不同專業的系等等。 ModernBody 的基礎在於實驗性的藝術工作，包含裝置，表演，互動，聲音，影像，音樂，戲劇等領域。主導人有過多樣跨領域合作經驗，例如和叛逆的戲劇組織，實驗性質的波普戲劇團隊，紀錄片拍攝製片人，另類文化代表組織，荷蘭國內以及國際文化交流和教育機構( 美國的西雅圖，阿根廷的布宜諾斯艾利斯，奧地利的格拉茨等)。參與創作和演出的人包括荷蘭國內和國際視覺藝術家，舞 蹈家，音樂家，電影製作人，多媒體和混合媒體藝術家，表演藝術家，建築師，受專業領域訓練的學生等，還有社會工作團體以及教育家的積極參與。[:]

[:en]Shih Chin University, Architecture Design Department[:][:Tw]實踐大學建築設計學系[:]

[:en]Shih Chien University’s Architecture Department was officially established in 2002. The department currently offers the degree of Bachelor of Architecture, Master of Architecture. The educational aim of the department’s program is to foster and promote the fundamentals of the architectural praxis founded on the timeless spirit of creative craftsmanship while actively incorporating the latest developments and research done in the field. To that end, the department encourages experimentation and cross-interdisciplinary research and explorations in a variety of media. Basic facilities, – studios, computer workstations, film studios, darkrooms, etc – all equipped to allow students to perform at their optimum, amply support the department’s various workshops in which the students can concentrate on a variety of fabrication techniques. These workshops constitute the core of the program whose pedagogy stresses in equal measure thinking with the hands, the head, and the heart. In order to encourage diverse ways of thinking about architecture – ways other than that which follows solely the logic of economic positivism – the department provides a comprehensive curriculum that is faithful to architecture as a cultural phenomenon whose multi-layered transfunctional significance exceeds the scope of any given category of value. Thus, the department not only offers a wide array of repeating courses in the humanities, the arts, philosophies, classical literature, and competing views of history, but also regularly hosts interdisciplinary seminars led by authorities in other fields such as cinematography, music, literature, sociology, and visual art. The advent of social pluralism in this age of global exchange requires professionals with skills that are founded upon an expansive and responsible view of the past as well as an ethical and adventurous stance toward future possibilities. Ever mindful of its educational mission, Architecture Department at Shih Chien University is committed to providing a solid foundation for all of its students so that, upon graduating, they may serve as progressive agents of positive change and meet the challenges posed by the increasing complexities of urban life that require a new kind of rationality and creativity. As the premier design school in Taiwan, Shih Chien University’s Architecture Department intends to continue to strive to deserve that title of honor by welcoming all forms of beauty and truth-revealing light, regardless of their place of origination. This graduate program allows students with a previous bachelor’s degree to complete the accredited curriculum for a first professional degree in Architecture in three intense years. Emphasis is on the design studio, with a full range of technical and professional courses, and electives in history, theory, and drawing. The program is fully integrated with the undergraduate curriculum. [:]
