]]> Emerging Artist Support Program 2009 - MEAT SHOP SPY tag:www.tokyo-ws.org,2010:/english/archive//14.3024 2010-02-13T07:08:27Z 2010-03-14T05:25:38Z It is our great pleasure to inform you that Tokyo Wonder Site will be hosting Emerging Artist Suppor... This program consists of three separate projects which were selected from 33 applications last year.

Emerging Artists Support Program 2009：
Right after its opening in 2001, Tokyo Wonder Site launched the "TWS-Emerging" series with the aim to foster young creators. In addition to this program for artists, a support program for aspiring planners (curators) was implemented in 2006, inviting young exhibition organizers to apply with concrete plans for art shows.


【MEAT SHOP SPY】

This exhibition presents "spy activity" playing in a meat shop, by means of an installation. Unlike the spy described in the entertainment including movies, who would attempt to gain information from a nation or a huge authority, the spy in this exhibition tries to get information from a small meat shop in a town. In the tiny meat shop "visible" and "invisible" portions of the huge social structure and food culture are hidden.
The activity of the spy starts by infiltrating a meat shop somewhere in Tokyo, in working as an employee. The spy collects information related to the exterior and the interior of the meat shop (the wall, the floor, the door and the light), the tools (the meat-cutting knives, the glass cases and the machinery) and confidential information (love and betrayal between the shop owner and an employee). The collected information in notes, photos, videos or souvenirs, is going to be recreated into another material.
A "second meat shop" will be set up in the venue, combining fiction and reality related to the information, visible and invisible parts of the society. This illustrates the confrontation between individual and society, in the form of a continuous spy activity.

【Deep Dig Dug】

Like miners building up a tunnel system together, artists can build networks with like-minded people through communication beyond the differences of nationalities and languages. Following this idea five artists from Japan, Germany and Spain with their various cultural backgrounds will turn TWS Hongo into a grotto, an artificial cave as a metaphor for a fictitious meeting point of artists and visitors.
The title of the exhibition combines "DIGDUG" (name of an 8 bit strategy video game released by Namco in the mid 80's, in which one digs caves in virtual landscapes) with the English word "deep". This refers not only to the action of "digging forward" as the theme of the exhibition, but also reminds one of the common influence of mass media and comic culture on the work of these five artists, despite their varied approaches to creating art.
The interlacing of a wall painting that displays physical effects by Motoko Dobashi, paintings made by Kaori Nakajima, digital collages by Pablo Alonso, photographs by Martin Hast, and the sound emanating from sculpture by Matthias Maenner reveal multiple images of an underground world.

WONDER SEEDS is an open competition art fair aimed to connect young artists and potential new art consumers. In this program designed to support young artists following the concept of "buy = support", selected entries of accessible small works (paintings, prints, illustrations, photographs, etc.) from all across Japan are displayed and sold. This year, the works of approximately 100 artists chosen from 964 entries will be exhibited at TWS Shibuya, where visitors can casually purchase affordable artworks that they like. Through WONDER SEEDS, not only young artists will learn the notion of selling their artworks, but also art fans will experience the awareness of art ownership.
