Atelier Interaction Residency Programme UK-Japan

Fountain (London) and P3 Art and Environment (Tokyo) with Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design are pleased to present a residency and exhibition project by young emerging artist Sarah Tse.

Located at P3/BEP. lab, in the magical and historic ‘Hot Spring Capital' of Japan, (別府市, Beppu-shi), Sarah's residency is a pilot for the wider Atelier project designed to attract some of the UK’s leading contemporary artists, curators and creative practitioners to Japan. The Atelier Interaction Residency Programme Japan-UK will encompass residencies in unique sites such as Fukuoka, Kobe, Kyoto, Nagasaki and Tokyo.

The residency programme is one of a number of exciting outcomes from last years Visiting Arts' Cultural Leadership Exchange Placement Programme. This saw Keith Whittle, International Projects, Central Saint Martins undertake a 3-month placement in Beppu, Japan.

Working closely with the key academic partner being Central Saint Martins as well as other key cultural partner institutions in both countries, the Atelier Interaction Residency Programme UK-Japan will provide a network of collaborative, crossover and cultural exchange opportunities in addition to links between both countries that extend international prospects to established art and design professionals, emerging practitioners, and the network of Central Saint Martin's past and recent alumni, facilitating the exchange of ideas through practice.

The residency will culminate in an exhibition in Beppu from 27 August, followed by a tour of the work to the acclaimed Konya 2023 Gallery, Fukuoka and Nakaochiai Gallery, Tokyo.
