Microresidence Network Forum 2020 Tokyo
Y-AIR concept - "AIR × Art University" International career development of young artists
We will hold a two-day Microresidence Network Forum 2020 Tokyo in February, 2020.
Artist in Residence (AIR) is a facility / program for residency and creative activity that allows to study and work in deferent enviroments and conduct research and creative necessary to improve their skills.
AIR, a platform for international exchange through creative activities, is a place for professional artists and arts managers to explore and practice throug cross-cultural experiences. In recent years, various activities have been developed in conjunction with activities such as community development.
Since 2013, we have been conducting an experimental program called "Y-AIR Concept" (AIR for Young).
We have positioned AIR's role as a place where will provide a place for hands-on experience and training to actively open up their activities as future who will act autonomous professional artists, social members with international mind. AIR, which is a micro entity, and an educational institution (art university), which is a macro entity, collaborate to create an environment and mechanism that is easy for art students and young artists to access. We whould like to encourage the development of a career, and open up the possibility as a place for career development after graduation from a art university.
In the two-day forum, we will look back on our activities, verify the usefulness of Y-AIR's international network, deepen our research, and discuss how to create a concrete structure and organization.
On the fist day, we will share and verfy the concept of Y-AIR based on activity reports from Y-AIR practitioners in Japan and overseas. On the second day, we will set up a practical forum for the establishment of the Y-AIR network.
The results of this forum will be a positioned as a kick-off for the November 2020 event in London.
We are looking forward to the participation of a wide range of people, including AIR operators, universities and educations, as well as international cultural organizations, grant foundations, cultural policy researchers, artists and students.
