About this movie: https://le-mani.com/

Aldo Grassini and his wife Daniela Bottegoni are visually impaired and live in Ancona, Marche, Italy. They love art and have traveled to over 80 countries, encountering the world by touching the things that each culture has created, as well as nature and living things. However, no matter which country they visited, they found it difficult to appreciate artworks in museums. This is because museums, which collect, preserve, and display artworks to be preserved for future generations, are "visually dominant" activities that place emphasis on viewing artworks through glass cases and fences. So the couple decided to create a museum where both sighted and blind people could touch and appreciate artworks, and took action themselves, founding the "Omero Tactile Museum." The museum opened in 1993 with support from the Marche Areas of study, and in 1999 it was approved by the Italian Parliament as a national museum, open to everyone, from children to adults, and those with and without visual impairments. The people who work there, the visitors, and the people involved quietly speak to us about what a museum is.

The director, who has been involved in museum management in Japan for many years, was moved by the existence of the Omero Tactile Museum and its activities, and picked up his camera out of a desire to share this fragment of the world with many people. With the theme of "The world you can touch with your hands," he traveled to Italy during the COVID-19 pandemic, when it is difficult to touch anything, and what did he see?

1. Opening remarks

I went to an off-campus seminar on arts support studies.

/category: /Author:

On September 29th and November 23rd, students enrolled in the "Off-Campus Seminar A-1~3 in Arts Support Studies" and "Off-Campus Seminar A-1~3 (Art Support Studies)" courses visited the ARCUS Studio in Moriya Manabi-no-Sato, Moriya City.

During our September visit, we visited Arcus Studios and toured the studios of two resident artists, Laura Cooper and Fuyuka Shindo, who were currently creating their works in residence at the studio.
We spoke to him about his creative process, how he plans to spend his time in Moriya, and more, in preparation for his residency.
The second visit in November was an open studio where the results of the work produced during the 90-day stay were presented.
In addition to the two resident artists this year, millonaliu (Klodiana Millona & Yuan Chun Liu), who participated in the 2020-2021 ARCUS Project, also came to Japan to present the results of their work.

After listening to a lecture by ARCUS Project Director Keisuke Ozawa, the students each decided on one topic they would like to research while they were there.
In line with this theme, we spoke to a variety of people, including artists, the ARCUS Project director and coordinators, the venue reception staff, and customers who visited the open studio.

Every year, in the off-campus arts support studies field trip, we investigate art sites that can only be found in these off-campus, "field" locations.

I look forward to receiving the students' reports.
Finally, we would like to thank all the artists, those involved with the ARCUS Project, and the visitors who kindly agreed to be interviewed by our students.

Art Support Research Group "The Future of the ARCUS Project and Artist-in-Residence"
Art Environment Support Forum: Future of the ARCUS Project and Artist in Residence


Date and time: Wednesday, June 2023, 6, 28:17-00:18, Art and Design Building, 30nd floor, Conference Room B203 (in person, doors open 10 minutes before the start)　　

Wed. June 28 17:00-18:30　　

Admission Free

Lecturer: Keisuke Ozawa (ARCUS Project Director, Representative Director of Artto General Incorporated Association, Independent Curator)
 Keisuke Ozawa


He will talk about the role that ARCUS Project, a pioneer of artist-in-residence (AIR) programs in Japan, plays not only in the art world but also in the local community.
Unlike museums, AIR is a place where artists present prototypes through trial and error and various investigations, making it a kind of laboratory just one step away from a museum, and also a place where artists and members of the public can meet as they witness these expressions taking shape.
I would like to use this opportunity to think about the significance and challenges of such a quiet yet indispensable space.
