Santa Fe - Japan Art & Culture Exchange Program

 

Mission

 

 

Santa Fe-Japan Art & Culture Exchange Program (JACEP) was established to promote and support artistic and cultural interactions between Japan and Santa Fe, New Mexico.  A major function of the program is to work with educational institutions to organize exhibitions, lectures, and workshops to promote dialogues between artists in Japan and the Santa Fe area.  The program provides supports for outstanding artists to travel from Japan or the US to attend events that enhance their specific fields.

JACEP sponsors two Japanese and two American artists to attend cultural events in Santa Fe in 2004.

The first invitees are Japanese painter Hiroki Murata and American painter Susan Christie.  Mr. Murata and Ms. Christie opens their two-person show "Tranquil Light II" at the Touching Stone Gallery.  On May 8, Susan Christie presents a lecture entitled "Oriental Aesthetics for Contemporary Painting" in the auditorium of the Santa Fe Woman's Club, 1616 Old Pecos Trail.  On May 10, Mr. Murata and Ms. Christie jointly offer a painting workshop at the Santa Fe Art Institute on the campus of College of Santa Fe.  This 1-day workshop, entitled "Novel Applications of  Sumi-e for Contemporary Painting", provides an excellent opportunity for talented artists from different parts of the world to share experience and ideas.  Click here to see images from the show and workshop.

During the third week of July, 2004, JACEP will sponsor Japanese ceramist Hiroyuki Wakimoto to travel to Santa Fe, to participate in the First Annual International Folk Art Market.  This Market is sponsored by the New Mexico Museum of International Folk Art and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation (Web: www.folkartmarket.org).  Mr. Wakimoto, a master in Bizen style wood-fired ceramics, will also open his one-person show at the Touching Stone Gallery.  During his stay, Mr. Wakimoto will have opportunities to visit local kilns and share his expertise with ceramists in the area.  Click here to see images from the show and events.

In August, JACEP will sponsor a lecture by American artist Linelle Dickinson, in conjunction with her new show entitled "Tracing the Lifeline" at Touching Stone Gallery.  Dickinson has adopted the ancient Japanese art of shifu (woven cloth of paper) as her medium for artistic expression.  Click here to see Linelle Dickinson's show.
