Akiyoshidai International Art Village Residence Support Program (Japan)

Call for Artists

Akiyoshidai International Art Village Residence Support Program: trans_2013-2014 provides a time and place for artists to experience new encounters and carry out experiments to guide their projects. Participating artists are expected to bring new ideas to the local culture and people while they, in turn, will hopefully acquire new perspectives through these fresh encounters. As a result of the residence program, the artists will convey their new experiences, gathered from the local lifestyle and our particular geographic situation, to their next destination. Akiyoshidai International Art Village aims to become a space for artists to go beyond cultural borders and expand their outlooks, exchange their unique understandings and establish relationships with fellow artists.

The program's prefix, 'trans', means to go beyond, get across, cross, exchange, change and convert which is symbolic of the experience. The theme for the 2013-2014 program is "the features of this land".

Residency period is January 19 – March 14, 2014.
Deadline to apply is July 31, 2013.
 
Akiyoshidai International Art Village, designed by the architect, Arata Isozaki, was founded in 1998 with the aim of providing a platform for artists in residence as well as for a variety of art forms and cultural activities. AIAV's main hall has a capacity of approximately 300 and its residence hall can house 100, and the village also features a restaurant, seminar room, studios, gallery, and café.

New Horizons for Creative Platforms, A Constellation of Cultures –

An Asia, Middle East and Global Network
In the span of a few years, we have been forced to reconsider our world. The world after 9.11, the political uprisings in the Middle East and 3.11 in Japan. As we enter the 21st century, we also are faced with an environmental crisis of overwhelming proportions, the collapse of economic systems and the collision between East and West. There is no way that such agendas and art are unrelated. As ideal breeding ground for intercultural dialogue and the production of new ways of approaching our world, residencies have an important role to play in opening up exciting possibilities and glimpses of new horizons. With this Conference, we will discuss these compelling issues with cultural leaders throughout the world.

We also aim to use this opportunity to consider the role of institutions in Asia and the Middle East – regions where cultural currents are rapidly forming and collaborating and networking can create great impacts. Asian residencies, in particular, need to consider their cultural strength. Cooperation here is not based on a single, unifying system or set of values; it is an approach that recognizes and embraces differences. Just as a star exists as an individual entity within a constellation, we will explore how new cultural constellations can be formed by single stars united through collaboration and how global networks can help facilitate this goal.

Dates:October 26 (Friday) to October 28 (Sunday), 2012
-With an additional excursion offered on October 29, 2012 (Monday).
Registration begins on October 25, 2012.
