Residency opportunity for two artists based in Japan

Wysing Arts Centre is delighted to announce a 10-week residency opportunity supporting two Japan-based artists whose practices or activity play a role in supporting or sustaining other artists. Taking place on-site at Wysing, in rural Cambridgeshire, the artists will be able to make use of Wysing’s extensive resources including studio space, recording and ceramics studios, fields, woodlands, and the networks and expertise held across the team. They will also be supported to undertake research and exchange knowledge with other artist-led projects, art workers and artists in the UK. This opportunity will suit two artists who are engaged in critical conversations about artist-led activity in Japan and/or engaged in thinking about ways to improve working conditions and create new opportunities for artists.

The opportunity: 

The residency will provide the selected artist with the chance to: 

- Develop research and participate in critical conversations with artists, art workers and organisations in the UK
- Time and space for reflection, ideas and rest
- Experiment with new approaches and materials
- Take risks without the expectation to create anything
- Receive curatorial support and development from Wysing’s team
- If of interest, engage with ideas generated across Wysing’s team about new models of organisational practice based around social / environmental justice

DEADLINE: 31 October 2024

Interviews: Week commencing 11 November 2024
