Purpose of the residency
In Tokyo, I will continue my decade-long interest in and support for Japanese contemporary art more substantially than I have been able to before, as my four past visits have been brief. At ISCP, I curated the first solo exhibitions in the Americas of leading Japanese artists Hikaru Fujii in 2018 and Ishu Han in 2015. I also exhibited the work of Japanese artist Shimabuku in New York for the first time as part of the group exhibition "The Animal Mirror" and brought the artist from Okinawa to give a lecture on his work, with support from The Japan Foundation. In 2013, I curated the exhibition "Fieldwork" for the "Aichi Triennale," which included research-based art projects that considered the urban transformation of Nagoya. I am excited at the prospect of continuing this work with Japanese artists as part of the Tokyo Arts and Space residency.
