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.
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 Mondial 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.
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 tenth annual call for proposals, and a total of 570 applications were received. Following a strict selection process, successful candidates included four projects in the Exhibition category, two projects in the Performance category, and two projects in the dot category. These projects will be implemented including the TOKAS Recommendation Program from October to December 2025.
