AN electric vehicle with a flexible chassis can be "folded" so it occupies less parking space, while still offering passenger room when it is "unfolded."
A smart kitchen counter, with an embedded touch screen, lists the foods stored in the linked refrigerator and gives their shelf life, nutrition and calories, as well as videos on how to cook them.
The two works are among more than 3,500 pieces in the 2013 Graduation Exhibition of the China Academy of Art, at the Xiangshan and the Nanshan campuses. The academy in Hangzhou is one of China's leading art colleges.
The diverse exhibition, entitled "Ready to Hand," includes industrial and other design, fashion, sculpture, installation, paintings and other works by graduates and post-graduates.
"Art education should be practical. Students should think wise and work hard, and to be 'ready to hand' is important," says Wang Zan, deputy director of the academy.
Many works from the Industrial Design Department shown on the Xiangshan Campus are practical and intriguing, such as the electric car with a chassis that can be shortened 2.5 to 3 meters when parking.
Other vehicle designs include a refitted SUV with back seats that can be made flat to expand trunk room. Another item is an unusual-looking motor comprised of iron waste and scraps, collected by a student over four years.
The smart kitchen counter has generated considerable interest, including some orders and exhibition invitations, according to Tian Linhan, head of the design group.
One group redesigned the visual identification system for Hangzhou's public transport, using particular colors for buses from different districts. The group is trying to sell the idea to the Hangzhou Public Transportation Group.
More "artistic" work is exhibited at the Nanshan Campus, including paintings, sculpture and installation.
At the entrance to the Nanshan Campus gallery is a large installation that is a small residential apartment with decor from the 1960s and 1970s. "Cobwebs" cover everything, including a portrait of Mao Zedong.
The academy's fashion design department staged a sparkling and fanciful show on a T-stage runway above a pool at the opening ceremony.
Zhu Kenhua's work "Flowers Ate the Young Boy" is a series of unisex garments worn by male models who also wore women's wigs, bright nail-polish and bras.
The garments can still be seen on the Xiangshan Campus.
Date: Through June 6, 9:30am-4:30pm (on June 10-16, 300 graduation works will be shown on two campuses)
Address: 218 Nanshan Rd (Nanshan Campus); No. 352, Xiangshan Village, Zhuantang Town (Xiangshan Campus)
Admission: Free
