"Masters and Students" is a series of exhibition of European design education, dedicated to Chinese audiences by Four Zero Art Space. This is a great event of choosing an European design professor and his/her students' work annually, carrying out an exhibition and holding a seminar to have academic conversations between professors and students.
This year, we have invited professor Heinz Jurgen Kristahn from Berlin University of Art and 11 students come from Germany, USA, Switzerlan and Sakartvelo, to come to hangzhou for carrying out exhibitions and have conversations of design. The event "Master and Students" will interact with Universities in China every time. We are glad to cooperate with Hangzhou Institute of Art and Design and Business University and Design Collage of Nanjing Arts Institute this year. The exhibition is a display of achievements, accounted for professor Kristahn's teaching of 35 years in Berlin University of Art.
