Unexpected Encounter － Artist in Residence Maebashi 2015-2018
2018.10.12 - 2018.11.4
【Past Exhibition】
“Even the stone that one stumbles over on the road has some connection with that person. This shows that we must cherish every trifling thing and relationship.” [The proverb in Japanese states: “A chance acquaintance is a divine ordinance.”]
Arts Maebashi has hosted eighteen groups of artists for artist in residence program since 2011, before museum opened. To celebrate the fifth anniversary of the museum’s inauguration, exhibitions from ten groups of artists from both inside and outside Japan will be held in the city center, where the Tatsumachi Studio is located for artists to stay and production.
During an artist’s residence, encounters with people and the town can change everything. When an artist crosses cultural and language barriers, finds ways to resolve unexpected events, and gracefully assimilates these changes, he or she finds the means for coexisting with others, and makes us aware of unanticipated interactions with different cultures through creative works. The connections between each of these artists will softly but surely make a connection with you as well.
