PRO VICE-CHANCELLOR

Welcome to Exposure 08, the publication of our annual graduation show, which is now part of the College of Creative Arts Festival: Blow, Nga hau e wha.

in shaping New Zealand’s national identity through iconic imagery, or contributing to its economic growth through the creation of original and desirable designs.

Just as the Royal College of Art describes itself as a ‘very special ideas factory’ so too can we at Massey’s College of Creative Arts. We have been at the creative heart of Wellington, and indeed the nation, for more than 120 years, and have been impacting on the cultural and economic well-being of New Zealand through our innovative thinking ever since.

Our alumni include proven leaders in New Zealand’s creative and cultural industries: Kate Sylvester, Richard Taylor, Len Lye, Gordon Walters, Judy Darragh and Mark Pennington are all our ex-students and all have touched the lives of New Zealanders through creating the clothes we wear, the films we watch, the furniture and household articles we buy, and the images that represent us and our unique culture to the world.

Known variously as the Wellington School of Design and as the Wellington School of Art, we have produced some of the country’s best-respected artists and designers. Now, as Massey’s College of Creative Arts, based in Wellington and Auckland, we continue to produce world-class graduates in art and design. Many of these have been instrumental

6

Ground breaking creations such as the Fisher and Paykel Dish Drawer, the Apple iMac, Formway’s ‘Life Chair’, the digital animations of ‘Lord of the Rings’, all came about through the work of our alumni.

Recent graduates can be found in design studios and enterprises across the country,

and indeed across the planet. Although many of them may not yet be known to you by name, like the generations of students who have come through this extraordinary New Zealand institution before them, they give shape to the material world around us in a distinct and compelling Kiwi manner.

A recent government exercise (called the PBRF) saw Massey’s School of Design ranked first in the nation, with the largest number of participating academics, the highest quality score, and six of the country’s eight leading design researchers based there. In the same exercise the College’s School of Fine Art’s quality score of 4.33, when set alongside the 4.30 achieved by Elam at Auckland University, indicates that we truly are the best in the country.

New York, the College of Creative Arts has always understood the intimate and important relationship between fine art and all areas of visual design. We also understand that a strong arts community is central to developing national identity and encouraging an innovative, knowledge economy.

We are pleased to be helping to build such a community here in Wellington, the nation’s creative capital.

In this publication we showcase New Zealand’s artists and designers of the future taking their first steps out into the world.

Be proud of them – their work is stunning and they thoroughly deserve their moment in the sun.

INSTITUTE OF DESIGN FOR INDUSTRY AND ENVIRONMENT

Design for industry and the environment is of significance to us all. In our increasingly international consumer orientated society, the ability to transform materials into desirable and valued objects, places and spaces is fundamental to our physical, psychological and economic well-being and identity. It is also critical for a sustainable future.

8

The design disciplines of Fashion, Industrial, Spatial, Textiles and Performance form the Institute of Design for Industry and Environment. Each discipline has its own values, theory, practise and research culture that is nurtured and encouraged within the Institute. There is also rich opportunity for exchange and exploration between these disciplines within the Institute and also beyond into the wider university and community. Our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes capitalise on the research excellence and technical support of our world-class staff.

The work presented in this year’s publication illustrates the quality of the Institute.

The outstanding creativity of these graduates, the inspirational guidance of their academic teachers and the technical and administrative support provided by my colleagues demonstrates our commitment to design excellence and innovation. These are key qualities not only for our graduates and staff but also for New Zealanders, our industry and environment as we make our way in the world. A world that is challenged

by economic uncertainty and environmental change needs, more than ever before, the ideas, insights and solutions design can contribute.

Congratulations to the students and staff of the Institute for the achievements of 2008.

I wish all our graduates success and fulfillment in their careers.

PROFESSOR TONY PARKER

Head of Institute, Institute of Design for Industry and Environment

Textile design is concerned with understanding and creating one of the most intimate and yet public aspects of the material world. In our unique programme we encourage exploration in design and colour, development of technical knowledge, and digital media skills for translating textile concepts into marketable products.

The 2008 Textile Design graduate work reflects the students’ sustained commitment to engage in critical debates to focus and contextualise their designs. Along with their broad skills base and a thorough understanding of the structure and surface aspects of textile design, our students are well prepared for successful careers within the international arena of textiles.

The students have produced innovative, contemporary applications and will contribute to various creative, commercial, cultural and heritage organisations. Some of the students have already achieved recognition and outstanding success in competitions such as the International Society of Dyers and Colourists, World of Wearable Arts and the Hokonui Fashion Awards. We wish this group of students well and commend them on the quality of their achievements.

Design is about creating pleasurable, desirable and meaningful experiences for people. The contribution of industrial design is multi-facetted. The economic and societal value of being able to offer the market products that meet utilitarian as well as emotional needs cannot be underestimated. This needs to be done with care, respect and consideration to others, to our planet, and to our future. Our graduates increasingly show that they are thoroughly prepared for successful careers as industrial designers. The fantastic turnout at the BeST awards 2008 (eleven of the 15 student finalists were from Massey) and the 2008 Dyson awards (all four finalists were from Massey), is excellent proof of their abilities. Projects by our students show a profound level of innovativeness and original thought grounded in solid research.

They reflect their ability to understand and inquire into novel contexts of use and to transform ideas into relevant, innovative and exciting products. Students’ work also exhibits a high level of awareness and sensibility to aesthetics, meaning and value for the intended user and market. We congratulate our Industrial Design graduates for their outstanding achievements as they enter the world with the privilege and responsibility of shaping our futures in the most influential of ways: by creating products that surprise, delight and enhance our everyday experiences.

Spatial Design is the practice of imagining, forming and constructing environments that consider space, time and sensory inhabitation. Emerging from the field of Interior Design this programme explores the embodied and theoretical conditions of architectural and virtual environments, as well as performance events. Our interdisciplinary approach integrates textile, furniture, object, fashion, digital and installation design, which is facilitated by our position within Massey University’s College of Creative Arts. This allows our graduates to work in a wide range of industries, including architecture, film, multimedia, exhibition, urban and events design.

Spatial design offers an expansive territory for practice and research, extended by the critical and speculative work of our undergraduate and postgraduate students. The 2008 Spatial Design graduates have shown a commitment to, and passion for, designing environments and experiences during their time with us. We wish them all the very best in their future. They leave Massey with skills that enable them to make valuable contributions in their chosen careers.

This year we are very pleased to graduate our third cohort of students in this dynamic new programme. Run jointly between Toi Whakaari (New Zealand Drama School) and Massey University, the degree offers a unique education in the developing field of the live arts. It is a discipline that works in the many situations of performance, across spatio-temporal practices in theatre, film, dance, opera, music, exhibition, fashion, performance art, and events. It considers the active role that design can play in manipulating space, object, movement, body, and light to become a performing agent with languages and narratives of it’s own. Our students learn the principles of designing for the stage, whilst also learning methods, theory, and creative processes whereby they can become more than designers for performance, but also designers of performance. The past four years of study have been very busy for this group of fantastic students - exhibiting work in the 2007 Prague Quadrennial, and presenting performances in Wellington throughout 2008.

Our congratulations to them all for their fantastic achievements over the past four years, and best wishes for the future. Performance Design at Massey is now integrated into the Spatial Design programme.

INSTITUTE OF COMMUNICATION DESIGN

Students of visual communication complete their studies knowing that nothing is as it first appears. Throughout their time with the Institute of Communication Design, students re-examine knowledge to discover the power, beauty and meaning of visual media.

68

Type, form, colour, time and space provide a palette of tools that are invoked to transfer a message or emotion in an everchanging design environment.

This year saw increased growth in Master of Design enrolments, a trend that is continuing through 2009. These students develop a deep rigor in research, theory and practice, culminating in a significant piece of work. This qualification follows the international trend as the qualification of choice for design students and professionals.

Our academic staff are also constantly pushing the boundaries of design with the emergence of new centres of excellence, with expertise and international connections, reflecting the new global culture of design research. Areas such as typography are experiencing a significant renaissance, driven by informed theory and practice. Other areas, such as graphic design, digital media, illustration, advertising and contextual studies are increasingly incorporating research into the creative process, connecting these areas to global research conversations.

This year’s graduating students reflect a diverse range of specialities and potentials.

Following graduation, these new designers will be absorbed into the design community and, over time, will become the new creative leaders. By maintaining their links with Massey, the dialogue between education, research and practice will continue to flourish and sustain visual communication as an integrated component of today’s society.

As advertising permeates every level of our society, the responsibility our graduates face is significant. While encouraging our students to be innovative and insightful, they still need to be alert to the powerful affect their work can have on societal stereotypes.

The Advertising programme has been very successful in the training of advertising leaders in all areas of creativity, as well as art directors, copywriters, and account service over the past 18 years. Our graduates have achieved notable successes in the industry both nationally and internationally.

The programme maintains a strong link with industry. Our enviable reputation of pushing the envelope in the practice of both strategic and creative thinking is paramount to the programme’s success.

The 2008 Advertising graduates have clearly demonstrated their passion and professionalism for their respective crafts. It is with confidence that I farewell them into their respective industries. I wish you all long and illustrious careers and look forward to learning of your future accomplishments.

As technology continues its pervasive infusion into everyday life, the term digital media undergoes constant redefinition. Media forms are in constant flux, with dynamic interplay between areas such as video, animation, interactivity and motion graphics.

Interactivity once described a mouse and a computer screen, but now has expanded to include cell phones, ipods, GPS, motion tracking and the ever-evolving Web. As proponents of digital media, students begin to interrogate both their own role and the state of media, suggesting new and innovative ways of bringing disparate elements together. Even in the areas that are considered traditional, students challenge conventions with research from a wide range of sources, giving their work increased meaning and purpose.

Fundamental to all study in digital media, is an awareness of adaptability; today’s hot tech trend can soon become tomorrow’s old news. Students leave Massey with strong skills in how to deal with change, adapt, and become award-winning experts and leaders in their fields. With an emphasis on investigation and problem solving, coupled with the desire for new forms of creativity, graduates from our Digital Media programme are well positioned for today’s society.

Today’s knowledge economy presents both enormous challenges and opportunities for Graphic Design graduates transcendent of any geographic context, isolated discipline, or optimised concept. Beyond traditional skills and vocational knowledge, graduates of the Graphic Design programme have been encouraged to cultivate a “creative leadership” in their search for the ‘new’ by considering conceptual approaches that blend broader understandings with specific design knowledge – ultimately articulating their ideas in compelling ways enriched by the diverse experiences and perspectives gained through the course. For this reason our graduates are capable of applying their creativity and communication skills to a broad range of industries, businesses and professions outside of, and additional to, the traditional role of a graphic designer. They have the capacity to shape the future of their industry by addressing innovations in technology and wider social changes in society.

We look forward to following the achievements of this year’s graduates and the impact that they have within the evolving field of graphic design as they extend beyond existing disciplinary boundaries, challenge entrenched thinking, and continue to question what it is to be a ‘Graphic Designer’ MARK BRADFORD SUBJECT DIRECTOR, GRAPHIC DESIGN

Illustrations are like words—visual words.

They are pictorial translations of thought.

Whether created out of ink, paint, pencil or pixels, they too make us think, perhaps in a more immediate way than the written word.

This year’s illustration specialists present a diverse body of highly engaging work.

Whether it is to visually describe and comment on physiological conditions such as synaesthesia or dyslexia, or provide commentary on how Pacifika culture assimilates into, and helps develop New Zealand culture, this year’s graduates demonstrate why illustration is such a powerful communication medium.

As design education in the 21st century becomes less about the production of material artifacts and more about reflecting the society we live in, the focus is on how our ‘thinking designers’ shape experiences.

To that end, our Illustration graduates have developed highly sophisticated design strategies to engage society with their messages.

SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS

The School of Fine Arts at Massey University offers degree courses in Photography and Fine Art from undergraduate through to Masters and PhD level, and an undergraduate Diploma in Photography.

120

The School currently has two significant research bases; The Litmus Research Initiative, an internationally focused programme devoted to scholarship in contemporary art, and a second Research Cluster who’s research represents the School’s unarguable position as New Zealand’s premier provider of degree level photography. There is a dynamic and innovative culture that pervades the school.

The staff that teach on the programmes are notable for their research activities and as exhibiting professional artists, academics and writers. The students who emerge from our courses are imbued with a sense of excitement and purpose. They have comprehensive skills in working across a range of media, and the critical and analytic tools with which to explore the global dialogues of contemporary practice. Their panache and ĂŠlan are well

noted by the creative sector nationally and there is a genuine buzz around the creative community of Wellington anticipating the future careers of these new professionals. The staff of the School of Fine Arts would like to wish the graduates success and fulfilment in their respective futures.

PROFESSOR JEREMY DIGGLE

Head of School, School of Fine Arts

Our graduates this year will head into a world increasingly reliant on the photographically derived image. At Massey they have learnt to apply photography to a huge range of contexts - from documentary practice through to highly specific client driven applications. A comprehensive understanding of photographic history and the role of the medium in the social realm also informed student work.

We are confident that our graduates will use their skills and knowledge to push the boundaries of the medium. In 2008 all of our students were exposed to a regular programme of visiting photographic artists and arts professionals. We have developed an exciting relationship with the Goethe Institut that has enabled us to host a series of leading German photographers and curatorial experts. This programme – Tiefenscharfe will continue to develop strong international links between the School of Fine Arts Photography Department and the German photographic scene over the next two years.

In addition to supporting student learning this initiative also has significant benefits for research within the School.

The Peter Turner Scholarship in Documentary Photography was also launched in 2008. The quality of the first applications confirms that we will see some exciting projects generated by the recipient in the Master of Fine Arts programme. We look forward to graduates taking this opportunity to enable them to return to postgraduate study in the future.

It is with great pleasure that the staff of the School of Fine Arts extend their warmest congratulations to all our graduates of 2008. During their time with us, these students have benefited from an astute, inquiring and supportive culture – one that they have helped create, and also participated in. We know that this model will hold them in good stead as they go on to a variety of active roles in the cultural fabric of New Zealand and the world beyond. We are proud of the fact that graduates from our programmes work thoughtfully, independently and collaboratively, and are valued for their ability to effectively combine a wide range of media and processes. The School’s focus on interdisciplinary training is intended to enable our graduates to work across conventional boundaries - from new forms of image generation to interface technologies, from material and spatial exploration to planning and urban development, or indeed any new industry requiring flexible, creative and lateral thinkers.

We look forward to following their progress as they move into new opportunities as artists, consultants, teachers, freelance practitioners, art writers, curators, technicians, project managers, in postgraduate study or the many other paths they may decide to follow.

AUCKLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN

Three years ago I mentioned in my speech to career advisors from Auckland’s secondary schools that our students and staff have something in common; we have a very healthy disrespect for the impossible.

In many ways we have now proven to our local and international colleagues in both industry and academia, that we have risen to an international standing.

150

Since our inception in 2003, our graduates have won awards nationally and internationally. The latest was Carolina Pena Villarreal who won the Bronze award in the 2008 Business Week’s International Design Excellence Award through ‘Close Up’, an art table designed for collaborative learning. Carolina was the only winner from New Zealand featured amongst other top students from all over the world.

At the Auckland School of Design, we have a clear agenda. Through research and teaching, we contribute to New Zealand’s economic and social interest through the creation of products, systems and visual communication messages. It is very timely,

therefore, that we are introducing a new major in Integrated Design in 2010.

Students in this new major will be at the leading edge of creativity shaping the future.

Through forward-looking and innovative integrated design solutions, they will offer new, creative ways to solve current and future design issues. These are the skills sought after by employers.

The work presented in this year’s publication to a certain extent illustrates the results of integrating design skills, business acumen and futuristic thinking. Regardless of their majors - Transport, Industrial or Visual Communication, all these research projects look

at issues that are important and real to all of us. You will find, among others, the creation of products and systems that address issues of sustainability and social responsibility. Many of the projects were sponsored by companies and some of those are either in the process of being commercialised or have been patented.

Congratulations to the students and staff of the School for the achievements of 2008.

I wish all our graduates success and fulfillment in their careers.

AZHAR MOHAMED

Head of School, Auckland School of Design

Each year the final year students are asked to define their major research project. In the early stages they evaluate questions with unclear and shifting boundaries. We ask of them: Is the problem area too big to work or too small to be relevant? Will the result be meaningful? Or will it be another object in which valuable materials and resources are lost in an endless wasteful cycle?

The process of researching such an open problem reveals not only surprising insight for all parties, but gives the initial question a whole new spin. The clearest proof is the relevance of a well-conducted design research process and the energy invested in it.

Being aware of crossing the dimensional categories in favour of more integrated solutions, the introduction of the new major in Integrated Design is the next logical step.

With this in mind, I applaud the research projects presented here, and I look forward to seeing the graduates as agents of change in the industry and community at large.

The quest to design a more efficient form of transport started a long time ago with the discovery that human beings are by far the fastest in getting from A to B. As the world evolves from discovery to industry to psychological fulfilment, we naturally want to explore the world, to win competitions, and also to create objects of desire.

The work of these Transport Design graduates showcases the afore-mentioned objectives.

This year we are very proud to see a range of research projects that not only fulfil what the industry expects from the graduates, but also those that pushed the boundaries further.

Projects this year tackled issues ranging from performance yachts to stability on roads to revolutions in wing-in-ground effects. The design outcomes clearly demonstrated a healthy quest for design through research.

For this, I congratulate the students as they have produced what is comparable to some of the best work produced by top design institutions internationally.

This leaves us hungry for more - we now encourage graduates not only from design but also from other relevant areas of technology and engineering to join us in the pursuit of excellence through graduate studies in Transport and Integrated Design. Let us demonstrate New Zealand’s history of design ingenuity to the world.

Communication and design are both fundamental categories of human activity. As such, our graduates spend 4 years at Massey gaining the expertise to enter the wider world as the potent and necessary force that drives our culture onwards and upwards.

Expertise that is evidenced by the raw talent, craft, dedication and integrity exhibited in this book.

Our graduates have not only gained expertise and knowledge concerning the fundamentals of graphic design, visual literacy and typography, but have also honed their personal voices by tackling problems, issues and concerns current in our society.

In creating responses to these larger sociocultural concerns our graduates express the critical component of a Massey University education: the desire to define the world around them, combined with the expert skills that allow them to do just that.

In reviewing the projects contained in this book, I am filled not only with pride in the work of our graduates, but the confidence that New Zealand is better off for their being here to care for it. Speaking as an emigrant myself, our students can take pride in knowing that they stand on a level with graduates of the finest institutions the world over.

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

This year’s Exposure gives an excellent overview of the range and scope of the fascinating research work undertaken by postgraduate students in the creative arts.

182

The postgraduate opportunities offered in Art and Design at the College of Creative Arts enable our students to experience extraordinary opportunities for more indepth research in their chosen disciplines.

Postgraduate students are expected, with the rigorous supervision of experts, to research their ideas with reference to related texts, theories and practices. The postgraduate experience builds upon the skills acquired at undergraduate level and leads to

a consolidation in theory and practice that expands the horizon of possibilities.

In the pursuit of postgraduate projects in Design, Fine Arts and Visual and Material Culture, candidates will have challenged the expected and explored the unexpected.

Their work will have involved questioning, investigation, experimentation, self-reflection, and the articulation of creative responses to research questions.

The outcomes represented here encompass visual, aural and tactile artifacts and systems resulting from this enquiry, along with supporting documentation. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the range of research possible in the creative arts.

I congratulate our candidates on their achievement and wish them success for their creative futures.
