Curation · Artist Residency · Chiba, Japan
I am the curator of Danchi AIR Hanamigawa (団地AIR 花見川), a new artist-in-residence programme taking place in Chiba from October to December 2026.
Organised by ALL ARTS Foundation and Hub Tokyo Co., Ltd., in cooperation with Chiba City, the residency brings together four contemporary artists: Rika Tanaka, Yuri Miauchi, Nao Usami and Kaori Endo.
Through IKO Art Discoveries, I was appointed to develop the curatorial direction and lead the artistic selection for this first edition.
The artists were invited for the strength and diversity of their practices and their ability to engage with the social and cultural environment of Hanamigawa. Their projects evolve through research, observation and encounters with residents, exploring new relationships between artistic creation, individual experiences and collective memory.
The residency also marks a new chapter in my collaboration with the Hub Tokyo Co., Ltd. community, following our earlier work together on the 2023 artist residency in Meguro and artist MASAMI’s solo show “Paysages intérieurs” presented in 2025.
Upcoming programme
- November 14, 2026: Public programme at Hanamigawa Danchi, as part of the 100-yen Shopping Street event.
- December 2026: Exhibition presenting the artists’ work and research. Further details to be announced.
