Art Collaboration Kyoto Roundtable: The Future of Commissioned Works
supported by Daimaru Matsuzakaya
- Partner's Talk
- Speakers: Inti Guerrero, Wang Weiwei, Yabumae Tomoko, and Yamamine Junya
In Japan, there is a lack of economic and technical infrastructure to support the production of artworks pivotal in helping artists expand their careers. In this context, The Ladder Project, powered by Daimaru Matsuzakaya, was established as a framework to support artists using diverse forms of expression, including installations, time-based media, and project-based work. As the market becomes increasingly competitive, artists are exploring a wider range of expressions and themes. In response to this situation, we will hold a talk session titled “The Future of Commissioned Works,” which will address both the creation of an environment that supports more artistic practices and the advancement of efforts to promote commissioned artworks internationally.Connecting with international examples and aiming to integrate with global contexts through resource sharing and exchange will foster mutually stimulating relationships. This roundtable will explore the possibilities of approaches aligned with such artistic practices.
Speakers:
Inti Guerrero (Curator / Artistic Director of the 24th Biennale of Sydney 2024)
Wang Weiwei (Curator (Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile))
Yabumae Tomoko (Curator, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum)
Yamamine Junya (Curator / Producer / Representative Director, NYAW Corporation / Visiting Professor, Tokyo University of the Arts)
