Invitation Program for Curators from Central Europe Symposium: “Central European Contemporary Art”
To commemorate the V4 plus Japan Exchange Year 2014, the Japan Foundation will invite six curators from the V4 (Visegrád Four) countries of Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, along with Slovenia and Romania, for 13 days from December 1 to 13, 2014. During their stay, in addition to attending lectures from Japanese art specialists, the curators will also visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Kanazawa and Naoshima, where they will visit art museums and have opportunities to interact with people involved in the fine arts in each area in order to deepen their understanding of Japanese contemporary art.
At the end of this program a symposium will be held to report the latest developments in the contemporary art of Central Europe. At this symposium the six invited curators will each give a presentation on the current state of contemporary art in their respective countries, and the environment surrounding it. Additionally, the curators will give a report on the outcomes of this visit and challenges they are hoping to pursue in the future, along with joining Central European fine arts specialists for an overall discussion, as a general overview.
