(London) - Acoustiguide is delighted to be producing the audio guide to accompany the Victoria and Albert Museum's major spring exhibition China Design Now. The exhibition is the first in the UK to explore the recent explosion of new design in China and runs from 15 March to 13 July 2008.
The exhibition includes work by around 100 designers and the audio tour features in-depth interviews and contributions from twelve of them including: Chen Shaohua, Han Jiaying, Hu Yang, Jiang Qiong Er, Liu Zhi Zhi, Ma Ke, Ou Ning, PK, Wang Yiyang, Yung Ho Chang, Zhang Da and Zhu Pei, few of whom have previously been interviewed outside of China.

The audioguide follows the exhibition which is divided into three sections. Each is linked to a city which provides a case study for the exploration of a different design field: Frontier City, starting in Shenzhen, will show the development of graphic design and visual culture; Shanghai’s Dream City will feature fashion and lifestyle; Future City will explore architecture and the city of Beijing and beyond.

The audio guide, available in English or Mandarin, is designed to allow visitors to tour the exhibition in their own time and in any order. The audio tour is £3.95 for adults or £3.50 for concessions and Friends of the V&A. It is also available as an MP3 download from the Acoustiguide website, to load onto your iPod or multimedia player through a secure online payment of £3.95.
