Since 2006, Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS) has been implementing the “Creator-in-Residence” residency program, which offers opportunities for artists active in various disciplines to stay and create works in Tokyo or at various overseas destinations.
In this exhibition, 14 artists who participated in our residency program present the art that emerged from ideas and insights deepened through their research.
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.
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 eighth edition, in commemoration of the 15th anniversary of the exchange between TOKAS and Atelier Monidial in Basel, Switzerland, the project welcomes three groups of artists, Leonardo BÜRGI TENORIO, NAKASHIMA Rika, Monica STUDER & Christoph van den BERG, who have participated in the program in the past, and focuses on questions and responses to fluctuations in perception and the contours of existence.
