ARCUS Project 2012 IBARAKI
Artist-in-residence program of ARCUS Project which aims to support the
artistic activities of emerging artists, was launched in 1994 by Ibaraki
Prefectural Government as its main organizer. In its 18 years history,
ARCUS Project has invited 82 artists from 26 countries/regions, and
supported their artistic projects and researches during the residence. A
number of previous residency artists are now known as cutting-edge
artists in international art scene.
Since the year 2010, ARCUS Project artist-in-residence program has
focused more on the “process” of activities. Therefore, we are looking
for a project which does not regard final presentation as a goal, but
tries to conduct a site-specific research/project within a certain
period of time. It is also expected that the research/project is open
to the local community for sharing the process and collaboration. The
proposed projects are supposed to be temporary works with which the
applied area can be returned to its original state. Since our program is
aimed at promoting international exchanges, applicants should possess
national of a country other than Japan. Not more than one artist will be
selected from one country/region. To apply, please download from the ARUCS Project website the Program
Outline and Application Guideline first, and read them carefully:
