The TOKAS Project is designed to foster international exchange and inspire reflection on diverse themes such as art and society from multicultural perspectives. In its seventh iteration, the project welcomes Ayos Purwoaji, a 2023 participant in TOKAS’s Curator Residency Program, as co-curator. This exhibition probes the potential of outlying regions through the works and activities of artists from Indonesia and Japan.
TOKAS Residency provides opportunities for international and local creators in various disciplines including visual art, design, architecture and curation to stay, create works and conduct research in Tokyo, offering studio spaces and accommodation. This Open Studio is a special occasion for the audience to see the creative process of residing creators.
OPEN SITE is a Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS) open call program which began in 2016 and aims to build a platform that brings together projects focused on artistic expression across all genres.
This year marked the eighth annual call for proposals, and a total of 279 applications were received. Following a strict selection process, successful candidates included four projects in the Exhibition category, two projects in the Performance category, and one project in the dot category. These projects will be implemented including the TOKAS Recommendation Program from November 2024 to February 2025.
