26 October 2012 - 28 October 2012
Eighty leading members of the world art scene will gather in Tokyo to attend the Res Artis General Meeting 2012. This conference for artists-in-residence brings together speakers from all over the world, including directors of cultural organisations, presidents of art universities, high-profile curators and artists, art directors, dancers and choreographers to discuss how the arts have changed since the 3.11 earthquake and tsunami.
From Australia, Mr. Max Delany, Director of the Monash University Museum of Art, will talk at the session “S.13 New Creative Education Through Residency”(17:00-18:00 on 27 October at Tokyo Women's Plaza), Ms. Natalie King, Director of Utopia@Asialink at the University of Melbourne, will speak at the “Round Table 2 Pan-continental Collaboration” (9:30-10:45 28 October at United Nations University) session, and Ms. Sarah Gardner, Executive Director of the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA), will attend the “S.14 Cultural Policy on Creative Platform” (17:00-18:00 on 27 October at Tokyo Women's Plaza) session.
Australia is one of the most attractive countries for artists wishing to deepen communication and interaction with others because it welcomes those who bring in different cultures and viewpoints. The country also has a wide variety of spaces and places for artists to work and to live in.
The conference will be a unique opportunity to consider the future possibilities of art and get a feel for the latest international trends.
