Business Overview
Since 2013, AIR and art universities have been working together to create an environment where young artists and art university students can easily access AIR (Y-AIR). This project is a collaboration between Youkobo Art Space, Tokyo University of the Arts, Acme Studios, a studio management organization in London, and Central Saint Martins, London University of the Arts. On the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the continuation of the "London/Tokyo Y-AIR Exchange Program," which provides young artists who have recently graduated from art universities with unique cultural exchange activities through residential works, we held an exhibition and a public forum with a summary of the activities by the young artists who have participated so far and the instructors of the Y-AIR Exchange Program. It was an attempt to evaluate the management of AIR and explore the limitless possibility of collaborative activities between AIR and the University of Fine Arts, through the expression activities of artists and their impact on subsequent activities. A total of 20 artists, 10 from Japan and 10 from the U.K., participated in the exhibition, and the Aimitagai executive committee, consisting of Youkobo Co., Ltd., participating artists, instructors of cooperating art universities, and people in charge of AIR management, co-operated the event.
