| There
will be a sneak preview on Panasonic’s new plasma
TV of the special artist archive project, which is part of the 10th
anniversary and has been designed to introduce contemporary artists
at the Australia and Japan interface. At the forum the audience will be able to
see a short promotional video on each artist. The CDRom produced from this project
will be launched in 2004 along with video documentation. This
project is designed to expand the Japanese artists directory on the Japan Cultural
Centre’s website, to include Australian artists who work at the Australia
and Japan interface.
The criteria for Australian artists are
(1) those who have lived in Japan for a long period,
(2) those who use obvious Japanese motifs in their works,
(3) those who have produced works with a specific Japanese related theme.
