Call for Faculty: RISD + Hyundai Collaborative Studio, Spring 2020

The Office of the Associate Provost for Research and Strategic Partnerships in collaboration with the Office of the Vice Provost and RISD Global is excited to announce a new partnership with Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) to support a studio that aligns with RISD’s pursuit of new ways of making and knowing and sustainable futures.

RISD + HYUNDAI Collaborative Studio funding will support full exploration of the topic through studio experimentation, travel, and exhibition, including:

• Research stipends for both faculty leaders ($2,500 per faculty)
• A dedicated graduate assistant for the studio
• Research stipends for all participating students ($750 per student)
• Two visits for faculty to Seoul, South Korea: once as part of planning visit, and a second time with students and as part of the Studio component
• Engagement of external visiting experts to augment the student learning as part of the studio.
• A culminating exhibition on RISD’s campus
• A publication produced with the support of a graduate assistant

To help organize the Spring 2020 studio, an HMG team will visit RISD October 7-9th to learn more about RISD’s campus, meet with potential faculty leaders for the collaborative studio, and refine the broad topic through think tank sessions that include a panel of RISD and non-RISD experts on the topic.

The selected faculty will conduct a pre-visit to HMG’s Headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, as convenient in the Fall, to better contextualize and understand HMG’s concerns and practices vis-à-vis the broad studio topic.

In addition, it is the mutual hope of RISD and HYUNDAI that the exhibition will travel in some form to a location in Seoul, South Korea, to be mutually determined after the end of the Collaborative Studio.

DEADLINE: Application review will begin September 30, 2019. The call will remain open until filled. Please click the link below to apply.
