Artist Residencies are drawing attention as cultural institutions these days.
We are pleased to inform that Artist Residencies international conference, Res Artis General Meeting 2012 TOKYO will be held in the autumn of 2012.
Res Artis is a worldwide network of artist residencies, established in 1993, organizing international general meetings once every two years in different locations throughout the world. Res Artis General Meeting 2012 TOKYO, held in Asia for the first time in 14 years, focuses on Asia itself, which today is becoming a vibrant and essential international hub. Residencies not only allow artists to create work, they also serve as a vital platform for exchange, enabling art centers themselves to be at the center of international dialogue and collaborations among museums, biennales, universities and municipalities throughout the world.
This will be a great opportunity to think about the future of artist residencies and dive into the current of a trans-national flow.
Registration has started on the web-site. (Early-bird registration fee will be applied until June 30!)

Main theme "New Horizons for Creative Platforms, Constellation of Cultures -Asia, Middle East and Global Network"

We are now at a point where we should reconsider the world we live in. The world after 9.11, major change in the Middle East and 3.11 in Japan ? as we enter the 21st century, we are faced with various agendas such as environmental crisis continuing since modernization in the 20th century, collapse of the economy system and collision between the East and West. There is no way that such agendas and art are unrelated. Is it not art that enables to question human conditions that allows us to open the next door and glimpse through new horizons? We hope to engage in discussion with those dealing with such compelling issues throughout the world. We also wish to focus on the role and approaches of collaboration.
It is long since a general meeting in Asia was last held. We hope to consider the role of institutions in Asian and Middle East where cultural currents are forming and the agendas on collaboration and network to arise in the future.
Artist Residencies whereby artists create work and exchange dialogues will become important sites from now on. We hope this general meeting will become an opportunity to open up such new horizons. Asia is structured from multiple values and societies. Cooperation nurtured here is not cooperation based on existing single values but rather cooperation that recognizes differences as values. Just as each star exists as an individual entity within constellations, we will aim for a constellation of culture by forming a single star sign through collaboration.
