The Japan Foundation organizes “Invitation Program for Curators from China, Korea, and India” from September 9 to September 29, 2013 to provide opportunities for further understanding of the Japanese art scene and its surrounding circumstances. Three curators from each country will be invited.
This program consists of lectures given by experts in the art scene and site visits to museums, galleries and organizations in Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Okayama, and Marugame. The purpose of the program is to enhance understanding of not only histories of Japanese modern and contemporary art and its current situation, but also art systems in Japan.
At the end of the program, the results will be shared with the public as an open forum for further discussions. Each invitee will present a proposal for Japanese contemporary art exhibition with the assumption that it is to be held in his/her home country. Japanese curators will also join the discussions to exchange ideas with the invitees.
