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, 11 artists who participated in our residency program present the art that emerged from ideas and insights deepened through their research.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS) established the Tokyo Contemporary Art Award (TCAA) in 2018 as a contemporary art prize for mid-career artists. Each year two artists or groups are selected, and in the final year of a multi-year program of support, award exhibitions are held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.
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.
