The TWS CiR Open Studio will showcase the work of creators invited or sent to take part in the Creator in Residence (CiR) program at Tokyo Wonder Site (TWS) in 2011.
With the 21st century came a growing recognition of the importance of creative hubs in art production; of places where creative individuals can mix and inspire each other, forming new cultural currents. Residency programs too continue to grow more vital than ever as settings for the creation of art.
TWS serves as a Tokyo platform for the work of creators from across the globe. Every year around one hundred individuals take part in the program, dedicating themselves enthusiastically to the production of artworks both in Tokyo and at designated locations overseas. Day-to-day art research and production take place at TWS throughout the year, artists in residence and other creators interacting and encouraging each other to take new and exciting directions in their work.
Tokyo Story is a collection of Tokyo tales spun by creators, tales born out of Tokyo, and tales spun by Tokyo.
A story from Tokyo dedicated to returning hope and good cheer to the Japanese capital, and to Japan as a whole; to helping make the whole world a better place through the power of creativity.

The program inviting young exhibition organizers to apply with concrete plans for art shows.
We call for exhibition proposals from artists planning exhibitions with their own participation and aspiring planners (curators) .
Selected projects will receive support from Tokyo Wonder Site, to be put into practice in the form of exhibitions at TWS Hongo.
The world is presently standing at a significant turning point, whereas we in our role as initiators in the realm of art and culture need to redefine our mission, and review the meaning of hosting exhibitions. It is a phase of fundamental reconsideration of all kinds of things and events we used to take for granted without much reflection. One notable recent trend is a shift in the perception of art, regarding artworks no longer as mere objects, but looking for a new definition of art in the pursuit of reality through creative acts and processes. The 2011 edition, the sixth in this series, aims to readdress the questions, "What kinds of location and experimentation are really needed now? And what should an exhibition as a public event be like?"
This year an extra award is given to one proposal in addition to the three selected winners.

This year sees the launch at TWS of the "Emerging/Master" series of exhibitions showcasing early, or "emerging" work as well as current offerings from prominent mid-career artists ("masters"). For the landmark first show in the series we are delighted to welcome Makoto Aida, a Japanese artist of international stature, in a presentation of work from the early years of Aida's career, when he was an emerging artist like those featured in the TWS-Emerging show run by TWS as part of its ongoing support for young artistic talent. To coincide with the exhibition Aida will allow public access as he works on his current focus, the Monument for Nothing series. This first Emerging/Master will also introduce the practice of emerging artists in Aida's intimate circle.
///////////////////
What is art, or fine art, or contemporary art; what are the arts? That which is predicated on such a question is probably destined to perish in the not-too-distant future. Whether it be art or not, the only thing to endure down the generations will be making what one wants to make or ought to make, or living the way one wants to live and leaving something as a trace of it. I apologize for saying this, but right now art academics are witchdoctors, fatal to those who heed their advice. This show represents part of this day-to-day conviction of mine. --AIDA Makoto

////////////////
Roadside shopping malls and family restaurants, residential complexes and brand-new detached houses... Such outskirt scenarios as they can be found all across Japan have been subject to massive criticism for causing damage to the landscape, a loss of "hometowns", and a defection of local communities among others. However, even in Tokyo and other major cities, sceneries that are easily mistaken for suburban areas are no longer an uncommon sight today. As a consequence of globalization, the entire world is about to be covered by suburban landscapes. The issue of suburbanization is getting increasingly compelling for all of us.
This exhibition features artists born in suburban environments, and those eager to modify and update suburban areas by their own hands. Without idolatrously pushing forward in optimistic reliance on technical innovation, and with no nostalgia worshipping things past and unrepeatable either, it is a novel kind of attempt to explore possible new styles of living in suburban environments.

A support program for aspiring planners and curators launched in 2006, calling for applications from young exhibition organizers with project proposals. In the past, the applications have not only come from curators but also from artists with their own self-produced project plans. Many of those artists' self-produced exhibition outlines have presented innovative ideas beyond existing genres in art.
Three projects from 44 exciting applications from young curators and self-producing artists were selected for the Emerging Artist Support Program 2010.

TWS has been conducting a variety of programs designed to support young creators, including TWS-Emerging, open calls for exhibition proposals, hook-ups with universities, etc.
A new program focusing on and exhibiting the creation process of artworks was just added to the lineup. The purpose of this program is to locate new artistic potential in the shared process of repeated dialogue and exchange between artists and a variety of individuals they meet along the way. It will at once generate opportunities for a large number of people to get in direct touch with the refreshingly prismatic sensibilities of artists.

......................................................................................................
What is "Luxurious Time and Space" for us ...? In the summer of 2010, On Site Lab Workshop 5 was conducted around the Asakusa area and TWS Aoyama under the theme of"Luxurious Time and Space." TWS Hongo is now having a document shop which will retrace this year's workshop.
......................................................................................................
The series of workshop "On Site Lab Program," which was founded by Tokyo Wonder Site in 2006, brings awareness to the importance of creators working on the challenges in the society and gathers creators and participants from a variety of genre and nationalities to find the possibilities to work on the same topic together. Having "Conversation with Art and Environment" as the main theme, we have invited tutors from both in/outside of Japan to facilitate workshops and lectures to discover the new horizons of knowledge.
The themes of the past four years have been: "+hand", "Waterfront Environment", "Global Warming and Forestation" and "Waste". This year, as a collaboration with GTS (Geidai, Taito, Sumida) Sightseeing Art Project and University of the Arts London, we investigated on a theme, "Luxurious Time and Space".
Today, the society needs new cultural, economical and environmental values. The research in this summer took place in Taito Ward and Sumida-Ward, which was the center during the Edo Period and now draws attention for the Tokyo Sky Tree, of which construction will be completed in 2011, to reconsider its richness for the earth and the humanity.
In this document show at TWS Hongo, we will exhibit some documents from this summer's workshop. Also, works created as an outcome of the research and the workshop will be shown at the exhibition "Tokyo Void," one of programs from "GTS(Geidai Taito Sumida) Sightseeing Art Project 2010."
During this session, there scheduled to be some lectures by various experts. For details, please refer to the information below.

TWS has been conducting a variety of programs designed to support young creators, including TWS-Emerging, open calls for exhibition proposals, hook-ups with universities, etc.
A new program focusing on and exhibiting the creation process of artworks was just added to the lineup. The purpose of this program is to locate new artistic potential in the shared process of repeated dialogue and exchange between artists and a variety of individuals they meet along the way. It will at once generate opportunities for a large number of people to get in direct touch with the refreshingly prismatic sensibilities of artists. The first work-in-progress session features Yuichiro Tamura and Yu Araki, both of whom have been exploring possibilities of new media art. Likening their relationship to that of "half-brothers", the two artists embark on a journey with the aim to define together with many other "explorers" the genre's horizon, while taking a continuously questioning and wondering approach to the new relationships between places, society, time, people and actions that emerge from the expanding realm of IT technology.

14 stories, spun from meetings in and departures from Tokyo.
A fundamental question raised during Tokyo Wonder Site Creator in Residence Program;
"We all die. Let's talk about real thing."
Joonho Jeon discovered Bunraku in Tokyo, through which he explored commonalities between Korea and Japan. A human bone carved out of Zelkova lets us forget about the death in front of us, while casting out the impossibilities of religion and raising an important question. We need religions when living becomes difficult like nowadays; but what can a religion do for us? We can hear urgent cries, as the result of impossibilities and hopes intertwining together.
But Åbake, who can flip such question up and down, would probably raise a question back to you:
"What is real?"
Tokyo Wonder Site Aoyama : Creator in Residence was established in 2006 and has hosted around 400 creators and supported their research and production. Also, we have supported young emerging artists departing Japan to participate in residencies abroad. This is a platform for fundamental questions raised by such artists.
We would like to reconsider the questions raised by all creators between 2009/2010.

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.

It is our great pleasure to inform you that Tokyo Wonder Site will be hosting Emerging Artist Support Program 2009.
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.
【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.

Trainer of man, the hand multiplies him in space and time
Henry Focillon, 'The life of forms in art.'
DO NOT TOUCH THE WORKS OF ART, the warning reads. Why would one do such thing in the first place? People generally touch works of art for trying to understand something plain visual information sometimes is incapable to transmit or to add a trace of ones own hand to the history of the object.
"Touching is believing", it's what makes an image return to its material stage and a sculptural form, an ergonomic experience. When the making of the artwork is charged with such haptic experience, the residual energy left by the hand of the artist, seems to be always an invitation for the hand of the viewer. A work that does incite touching, generally, also incites thinking about touching; a precondition to the full appreciation of sculpture and surface based and representational painting.
In cultures richly devoted to the senses as a unifying experience between mind and matter, haptic aspects of art-making and consuming become so evident, they are sometimes taken for granted. This exhibition focuses on the works of six artists from two diversely sense-dominated cultures, whose working habits are closely associated with the hand and whose ideas are loosely inspired by tradition.

This latest show, the continuation of a series launched last year, is like the others composed of works from the collection of Mr. Satoshi Okada. Our aim is to provide a permanent venue for works by emerging Japanese contemporary artists similar to the permanent exhibitions in an art museum. In conjunction with the series, programs such as TWS-Emerging and INDEX#4 involving students and young artists in their 20s and 30s are being run to help forge ties among artists, and artists and art lovers. Two shows were exhibited last year to considerable acclaim: Room 1: Kuwahara & Kato - According to the "basso ostinato" of Japanese traditional mentality and Room 2: Yuichi Higashionna, Daisuke Ohba & Akiyoshi Mishima - Design and Soul.
The Okada collection includes numerous leading works by emerging Japanese artists, but selected from unconventional perspectives while the artists in question were still unknown. The collection could also be described as an attempt to explore the depths of what it means to be human, including the irrationality of human nature. In that the works here reflect and convey the diverse sensibilities emanating from the megalopolis of Tokyo, they go beyond the confines of a personal collection to present a universal challenge.
Room 5 showcases the work of Chiezo Taro. This show in a series of rooms at an imaginary art museum will run for approximately five months. Watch out after that for the next installment Room 6, featuring work by Toshiyuki Konishi and Fumiaki Akahane.
Taro, and old friend of mine, is in my view some kind of mad scientist rather than an artist. He got aware of the limitations of anthropocentric thinking quite early, and the works he comes up with are all grotesque pieces of art that seem to be ridiculing the value concepts of inwardness. That grotesqueness tells us through suddenly appearing notions of violence about the presence of something huge and horrendous beyond human scale, and it is the existence of that menace that serves as the best proof of the invalidity of anthropocentric thinking. What better description than "posthuman artist" for him then?
(Satoshi Okada Representative, Art Acephale)

In conjunction with the series, programs such as TWS-Emerging and INDEX#4 involving students and young artists in their 20s and 30s are being run to help forge ties among artists, and artists and art lovers. Two shows were exhibited last year to considerable acclaim: Room 1: Kuwahara & Kato - According to the "basso ostinato" of Japanese traditional mentality and Room 2: Yuichi Higashionna, Daisuke Ohba & Akiyoshi Mishima - Design and Soul.
The Okada collection includes numerous leading works by emerging Japanese artists, but selected from unconventional perspectives while the artists in question were still unknown. The collection could also be described as an attempt to explore the depths of what it means to be human, including the irrationality of human nature. In that the works here reflect and convey the diverse sensibilities emanating from the megalopolis of Tokyo, they go beyond the confines of a personal collection to present a universal challenge.
Room 4 showcases the work of Julian Schnabel. This show in a series of rooms at an imaginary art museum will run for approximately five months. Watch out after that for the next installment Room 5, and more, featuring work by Chiezo Taro, Toshiyuki Konishi and Fumiaki Akahane.

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.
In the previous two rounds we received next to entries from planners (curators) also numerous exhibition proposals from artists planning exhibitions with their own participation. Many of those artists' selfproduced exhibition outlines were based on innovative ideas for types of art beyond existing genres.
In this year, three exhibition plans: "Normadic! Shayne Ehman & Friends" by Aya Takada, "DIG & BURY'S Yuji Oda" by Nobuhiko Terasawa and "OCTO_HASI BALKAN PICNIC" by Natalija Ribovic and Toru Fujita, were selected and presented at TWS Hongo.

Tokyo Wonder Site is pleased to announce its next exhibition, " IMAGINARY MUSEUM of the O-collection - magical museum tour ".
Present day Tokyo is in need of more occasions to see Japanese young contemporary artists' works on a regular basis. This is why we decided to present young Japanese artists' works from the Satoshi Okada Collection in a permanent exhibition at Tokyo Wonder Site Hongo for about half a year. The Okada Collection encompasses a huge number of works representing a young generation of Japanese artists, each selected from an individual perspective at a time when the respective artist was still unknown. The collection can be considered as an attempt to explore the depth of the human mind with all its irrationalities. Also in terms of reflecting and communicating the wealth of different sensibilities that emerged out of the environment of metropolitan Tokyo, these works appeal to the viewer as parts of an exhibition that exceeds the framework of a private collection.

The opening of Tokyo Wonder Site Shibuya in 2005 marks an occasion to widen the scope within which Tokyo Wonder Site is going to focus on the Japanese contemporary art scene in the future. This exhibition will be the first step.
"After The Reality" (2004, Hiromi Yoshii Gallery, curated by Kentaro Ichihara), which focused on young Japanese creators who commenced their artistic work after the 9/11 disaster, was an exhibition that introduced a new current in young Japanese art. As a sequel to "After The Reality," this time Ichihara curate "ZONE - POETIC MOMENT -," and eight artists have been selected for this show.

It is a public subscription exhibition that was installed in Tokyo Wonder Site as a stage for young artists to present their works to a large number of art fans. In this program designed to support young artists following the concept of "buy = support", selected entries of small, two-dimensional works (paintings, prints, illustrations, photographs, etc.) from all across Japan are displayed and offered for sale. The works of approximately 100 artists chosen from about a large number of entries every year are exhibited at TWS Shibuya, where visitors can purchase the works they like. Next to the support of young artists, another idea behind Wonder Seeds is the fostering of young art fans, and the animation of the general public to buy art.
