This open-call program offers contemporary artists, curators, researchers, and others who are involved in cultural and artistic endeavors the opportunity to practice exhibitions, performances, workshops, talks, and other activities, with ACAC’s full support providing assistance every step of the way from the planning stage and research to installation and presentation and archiving in catalogs.
Although holding an exhibition is not compulsory, participants are required to introduce their achievements through some form of Exchange Program in order to get their activities widely recognized. The length of stay is optional, with participants asked to select the desired period of time in 2-week increments, from a minimum of one 2-week term (14 days) to a maximum of seven 2-week terms (98 days). This year, for the first time in three years, we are able to offer the program without setting restrictions on the length of stay for all artists. Basically, an actual residency at ACAC is highly recommended, but remote participation will be allowed for activities that are able to be done remotely.
For 2023, the program is titled “Starquakes”, which refers to faint stellar oscillations. No one is able to actually observe the phenomenon, however, energy has certainly been emitted somewhere in the universe, as proof of a star’s life. In the same way, the tremors of individuals who have been devoting themselves to creative activities and research may be generating the power to simultaneously engulf others or resonate with them.
The title of the program is a guidepost to reflect and update the “present situation” of the Artist-in-Residence program at ACAC and does not necessarily define the activities of participants. Although this 98-day residency is not a long-term program, we hope to make contact through ACAC with the ‘heartbeats’ of stars scattered around the world and to encompass and resonate with various expressionists, local residents, and students, during the residency period.
Program period: Sep. 14 (Thu) – Dec. 20 (Wed)
Exhibition period: Oct. 28 (Sat) – Dec. 17 (Sun)
