AIT is honored to host a short talk by Jenni Lomax, long time Director of CAC in London, who will be in Japan as a jury member for The Nissan Art Award 2015. AIT has had the pleasure to collaborate with CAC since September 2014, hosting the CAC exhibition organizer Gina Buenfeld in Tokyo as well as Jesse Wine and Caroline Achaintre. Although AIT and CAC share very different histories and contexts, the two arts organizations do share a strong commitment towards the place and relevance of education, in multiple senses, for the arts and within artist in residency programs.
CAC has organized pioneering residency programs for artists where they also engage with learning and education within the centere's community and beyond. What role can the artist play in education, and how can learning be an integral aspect of residency programs? As the dynamics of global art and ideas of what a commons means changes in the C21st, it seems pertinent to ask these questions now. Jenni will speak on these topics from her extensive experience for about one hour, and an informal Q&A session will follow. Drinks will be served.
