ARTASIAFUTURE: new models for arts residency, collaboration and exchange

ARTASIAFUTURE  new models for residency, collaboration and exchange Asialink Annual Arts Forum, Friday 23 July at the Sidney Myer Asia Centre, University of Melbourne. What does the future of international artistic collaboration look like? With 20 years experience running Australia’s largest international arts residency program, Asialink looks forward to the next two decades. We explore ideas of collaborative artist camps, carbon-neutral exchanges, cross-media incubators, long-term placements, cross-cultural collaborations, virtual residencies and more.   Join Korean curator, art historian and critic Dr.Kim Hong-hee (pictured) for the keynote address, Post-Museum: new partnerships between museums and arts residencies. Dr Kim is Director of the Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art, and her previous roles include Commissioner for the Korean pavilion at the 2003 Venice Biennale.

The keynote will be followed by an in-conversation panel discussion on the hot issues facing artists and writers wanting to work internationally. Asialink Writing Program Manager Nic Low hosts Next Wave Festival Artistic Director Jeff Khan, author Kirsty Murray, and Arts House Associate Producer Kate Ben-Tovim.

This is a free event in celebration of Asialink’s 20^th anniversary, and to welcome new Asialink Arts Director Lesley Alway. 

The Asialink Arts Residency Program each year sends 40 Australian artists, writers, performers and arts managers on three to four month residencies to Asia. Applications are now open for the 2011 program and close 10 September 2010.
