An afternoon of discussion informed by the Tokyo Correspondence exchange – a series of residencies in Tokyo and London hosted by Camden Arts Centre and Arts Initiative Tokyo.
Artist-in-residence Ryosuke Imamura screens a series of his video works as he joins us for his three-week research residency. Alongside Imamura’s work, the event will consider other artists who have addressed the aesthetic dialogue between east and west including João Maria Gusmão + Pedro Paiva, Simon Fujiwara and Simon Martin. The afternoon is a forum for discussion about the effects of artistic globalism and the influence of local identities.
