Description
The Aomori Contemporary Art Centre (ACAC), Aomori Public University opened in December 2001 as an artistic institution centred around an artist-in-residence program. The city of Aomori supports international exchanges focused on creating a new culture, by supporting artists' creative activities centred on the artists-in-residence project and deepening city residents' interest in local culture by providing a space where residents and artists can meet through exhibitions, workshops and other activities.
This open call program offers contemporary artists, curators, researchers and others who are involved in cultural and artistic endeavours the opportunity to practice exhibitions, performances, workshops, talks and other activities, with ACAC’s full support providing assistance with every step of the way from the planning stage and research to installation and presentation and archiving in catalogues. The theme of the program is "Starquakes".
Outcome
During the residency, artists are expected to participate in the artist talk; a lecture, a workshop and a local traditional craft workshop. (The host will provide and pay the cost for any materials used in such exchange programs.) Artists from abroad are required to present the results of their work during their stay in Japan in a language other than Japanese within 1 year after the residency.
