Outline

Launched in 2013, the concept of Y-AIR (AIR for Young) is an initiative that aims to create an environment granting easier access to artist-in-residencies (AIR) for art university students and young art graduates, implemented with the understanding and support of various art university professors. The Ai mi Tagai exhibition and forum presented the work of artists who were previous participants, in addition to the work of professor who are acting advisors for the Y-AIR exchange program. It was an attempt to explore the possibility of collaborative activities between AIRs and Art Universities, along with the evaluation of AIR operations from the perspective from related people through the artists’ expression based on the results of their activities and the impact of subsequent activities. A total of 18 artists, 9 from Japan and 9 from the UK participated the exhibition.
