Abstract
本次讲座，我们有幸邀请到Linda Johnson博士，她是上海“毛太设计”（MMD）的创始人兼策展人。她将分享自MMD成立以来，她所见证的中国文化和创意领域的变化，以及这些变化如何与MMD中的物件和过往的人们互动。
2010年，上海被联合国教科文组织命名为“设计之都”，但至今仍缺少一个设计博物馆，以吸引中国和国际观众，展现中国丰富多样的设计遗产。与此同时，MMD自2000年成立以来，一直专注于现代中国设计领域的创意空间，它收集、展示并销售了多种形式的”毛时代“的设计作品，同时通过为上海新兴设计师提供展示平台，促进了创意社区的发展。
这个空间的理念是讲述一个从帝国时代到当代，在中国快速变化的城市背景下，连续、积极且持久的审美历史故事。MMD被誉为“城市的礼物”，是一个社交互动的场所，鼓励人们理解和欣赏那些虽然充满日常生活但尚未得到充分认可的重要文化和创意成果。多年来，Linda Johnson博士与中国及国际的许多著名设计师和机构进行了合作，包括John Galliano、V&A博物馆（为2008年春季的“China Design Now”展览）以及英国高街时尚品牌Top Shop。
本次讲座将采取讲座、由Karolina Pawlik博士主持的讨论以及对观众开放的问答环节相结合的形式，旨在引发对设计历史、社会企业、创意实践和商业中的跨文化交流、复古与红色文化趋势变化，以及通过独特途径和叙事推广中国文化的可能性的深入思考。
In this lecture, we welcome Dr Linda Johnson, a founder and curator of Madame Mao’s Dowry (MMD) in Shanghai, to reflect on the changes she witnessed in approaching culture and creativity in China engaging with both objects and the people passing through MMD since its establishment.
In 2010, Shanghai became the UNESCO Creative City of Design, but it still lacks a Design Museum engaging Chinese and international audiences with rich and diverse legacies of design in China. Meanwhile, launched in 2000 as a creative space focused on Modern Chinese design, MMD harvested, displayed and sold Mao Era design in many of its emanations whilst fostering the creative community by offering a space for the display of emerging Shanghai designers.
The concept of this space was to offer a story of a continuous, positive and enduring aesthetic history from Imperial China to the contemporary era in the context of a rapidly changing city. Since described as ‘a gift to the city’, MMD was a space of social interaction and encouraged an understanding and appreciation of significant cultural and creative production that populated everyday life but lacked recognition. Over the years, Dr Linda Johnson has collaborated with many famous designers and institutions from China and abroad, including John Galliano, V&A (for their China Design Now Exhibition in Spring 2008), and the British High Street fashion label Top Shop.
Through a combined format of a lecture, discussion moderated by Dr Karolina Pawlik and Q&A open to the audience, this talk seeks to trigger reflection on design histories in China, social entrepreneurship, cross-cultural communication in creative practice and business, changing trends in vintage and Red Culture, and possibilities to promote Chinese culture through unique approaches and narratives.
