Island blir kreativ muse for global design

LONDON, April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

- Internasjonalt anerkjente Chelsea College of Art and Design innlemmer Island i sisteårets læreplan

Et nytt internasjonalt designprosjekt skal styrke Islands stilling som verdens nye kreative sentrum. Som en del av et unikt samarbeid mellom Inspired by Iceland og Londons internasjonalt anerkjente Chelsea College of Art and Design skal hele øya bli en muse og inspirasjonskilde for verdens fremste studenter innen kreativ kunst og design.

Island er et land med kreativ sans, og foreleserne skal velge ut studenter fra Chelsea College of Art and Design som skal reise til Island for å bli kreativt stimulert av landets naturlige kultur, undre og eksisterende kreative talent.

Studenter på Island vil møte landets mest talentfulle og innovative designere, og skal reise gjennom Island med dem og arbeide fra et mobilt kreativt studio.

Takket være et landskap i evig endring og en fantasirik og pulserende kultur vokser anerkjennelsen av Island som et verdens mest inspirerende steder for kreative sjeler.

Island har rykte på seg for å ha flere kreative personer enn noe annet land i verden. Landet har flere kunstnere og publiserte forfattere enn noe annet sted i verden, og ifølge en ny rapport* fra dr. Margrét Sigrún Sigurðardóttir og Tómas Young har de kreative bransjene holdt seg ganske konstante - til tross for en generell nedgang i andre sektorer - og antallet stillinger tilsvarende heltid har økt i løpet av perioden. I 2009 utgjorde kreative bransjer over 6 prosent av økonomiens totale skattbare omsetning - det vil si mer enn byggenæring, fiske og jordbruk.

Myndighetene er også opptatt av å støtte Islands kreative talenter, og gjennom store investeringer har det offentlige bidratt med 12,5 prosent av kreativ sektors totalbeløp.

Studentene skal bruke landet som inspirasjonskilde og dokumentere sin egen inspirasjonsreise, som kan følges på inspiredbyiceland.com og via Inspired by Icelands sosiale mediekanaler.

"Som nasjon omfavner vi kreativitet, og design er viktig del av kulturen vår," sier Inga Hlín Pálsdóttir, Director, Marketing & Visit Iceland i Promote Iceland. "Vi er svært stolte av våre kreative talenter og gleder oss til å se hvordan noen av verdens mest talentfulle studenter skal uttrykke inspirasjonen de opplever på Island."

"Inspired by Iceland samarbeider tett med avgangsstudentene fra Graphic Design Communication, deler og videreutvikler profesjonell praksis, og finner og fremmer nye talenter og dyktige designere," sier Geoff Thomas-Shaw, Undergraduate Programme Director. "Dette spennende samarbeidet sørger for at ferske, unge designere blir mer kreativt selvsikre og føler seg verdsatt som neste generasjon retningsgivende utøvere."

Interessante fakta om Island

Kan dette være grunnen til at Island er verdens nyeste kreative og kulturelle hotspot?

  • Islandske forfattere utgir flere bøker per person enn i noe annet land i verden. Omtrent dobbelt så mange bøker utgis per person på Island som i de andre nordiske landene (2008)
  • Island bruker mer enn noe annet land på kulturelle aktiviteter (8,02 % av offentlige utgifter allokeres til kulturelle aktiviteter)*
  • Landet har flere kunstnere i arbeidsstyrken enn noe annet sted
  • Landet har et av verdens høyeste antall kinobesøk per person

-    Rundt 60 % besøkte teateroppsetninger, operaforestillinger, musikaler eller konserter (2009)**

-    Rundt 50 % besøkte kunstmuseum eller -utstilling, og over 60 % besøkte historiske steder som Þingvellir nasjonalpark, Skálholt eller Reykholt**

  • Rundt 55 % besøkte en kultur- eller friluftsfestival, hvorav 70 % besøkte en lokal festival, for eksempel Great Fish Day i Dalvík**
  • Islendinger er blant de lykkeligste menneskene i verden, og har verdens høyeste forventede levealder

* Towards Creative Island: building local, going global

Quantitative and qualitative mapping of the cultural and creative sectors in Iceland
