The 12th Winds of Artist in Residence 2012 Part 2

The Artist in Residence Program Fukuoka Asian Art Museum (FAAM) invites emerging artists from Asian countries and regions to promote diverse artistic and cultural exchange programs though art-making and workshops.

For this year’s second term of the program, Azliza Binti Ayob from Malaysia and Lampu Kansanoh from Thailand were invited and stayed for 70-days from September.  We are pleased to announce an exhibition, Winds of Artist in Residence 2012 Part2, highlighting the achievements of the artists during their time in Fukuoka.

Collaborating with the people of Fukuoka city to make about 2,000 pieces of paper clay mushrooms, Azliza Binti Ayob has created an installation work incorporating those mushrooms.  On the other hand, Lampu Kansanoh has made 5 oil paintings featuring the various people who she met in Fukuoka in a comical touch.  On top of their art making activities, they have carried out a series of workshops for elementary and junior high school students.  We would like to invite you to see the outcome of their art-making and exchanges in this exhibition.
