About the open call to the residence program 2016:
Sapporo is an unusual city where there are as many as 2 million residents living in a cold, snowy area which makes it one of the world’s more unique cities. The winter in Sapporo is very snowy and residents are live in an environment which is totally different from the summer. Skills to cope with the heavy snow have been developed through dealing with the problems snow removal and snow damage. Urbanization was driven by the Sapporo Winter Olympics in 1972. Developments include road heating, underground passages and transportation infrastructure, winter entertainment including sports and snow festivals, as well as all sorts of creative activities to vitalize the city.
Artists are invited to develop their ideas through work based on three key words: Winter, Snow, a City. The program offers a working environment for artists in winter and we hope that it leads to an experimental and creative community experience. We look forward to receiving applications from artists and creators.
