I also had time to meet Kuro, an artist from Surabaya who is in the middle of a residency at the On-Going Art Space. While in Tokyo, I met Natasha Tontey who was working on a mural for a hotel there. Why are there institutions or galleries that want to cover the cost of a ticket, pay for accommodation and per diem, support an artist to make work outside of their country? What kinds of value transactions take place in the mobility of an artist residency? Do artists always profit from a residency program?Īllow me to begin with the milieu closest to me.Ī month ago, I returned from Tokyo, where I attended a conference. Why at present are there so many institutions that offer residency programs? And what effect does the increase in mobility opportunities have on the sustainability of art practices in our context? ![]() ![]() This is the script of my speech presented for the opening of “Artist Job Fair” project by Wok The Rock, held in Cemeti – Institute for Art and Society, Yogyakarta, December 7, 2017.
