In Tatsuno, Nagano Prefecture, the town becomes an art museum: exhibitions are held using vacant houses as art venues.
About 10 vacant houses in Tobichi district will be used as exhibition spaces. Items found in these vacant houses are called “Treasures of the Vacant House and are used as materials in artworks.
Aiming for “a future where art is naturally part of everyday life, this project utilizes vacant houses to create connections between art and daily life. We also hope to encounter new artworks through various communications between local people and artists, and between the artists participating in this project.
This is our 5th year to hold the program and 4th time to give an open call. We invited 2 artists from France last year. The invited artists will be one of the Juries for this years program.
We will also provide some materials that have been found at vacant old houses and shops. You are the one who will create art with those “Treasures from useless places.
By selecting residence artists with an open call, we expect some good chemistry by coincidence and would like to bring a variety of things and movements of the heart to the local community, through communicating with other artists, staff and local people.
We hope that local residents will gain various “insights from each other through this AIR project.
