LONGSTAY Program 2020-21
1. Introduction
日本語版はこちら
We’re waiting for you with the room open
Every year, PARADISE AIR has held the LONGSTAY Program under various themes and with different application requirements. In the 9th edition of the program, importance is not only placed on the time artists spend in Matsudo. Attention will also be given to the artists’ impressions of Matsudo in the time margin before and after their arrival.
Seeking to make connections between resident artists and the generous and receptive culture of Matsudo that sustains PARADISE AIR, we are waiting with the doors to artists’ rooms wide open—even if traveling to Matsudo becomes difficult in practice.
This program is open to applicants based in Japan and overseas. We welcome applications from people currently residing in Japan. In addition, the outcome of the residency can take tangible or intangible form. Applications are widely accepted not only from artists but also from curators, researchers and other practitioners in related fields. Please apply with your ideas by December 25th.

[Updated on Dec. 10] This residency program is held combining an e-Residence ( online ) and a residence ( in Matsudo ).
Selected artists may conduct online research and research/production in Matsudo as a series of their projects. Resident rooms will be kept for those even if they are unable to arrive in Japan during the residence term due to COVID-19 status.
2. An Idea
Unraveling Time
While considering the contents of the LONGSTAY Program 2020-21, I read the book “Philosophy of Decomposition”* by Tatsushi Fujihara ( agricultural history researcher, Associate Professor at the Institute for Research in Humanities, Kyoto University ) after a friend recommended it to me. In Chapter 6, “Aesthetics of Repair: Mend, Unravel, Perform,” I learned there is a theory about the Kanji character for “time” ( 時: pronounced “toki” in Japanese ) that suggests it is a mutation of the character signifying “unravel” ( 解く: pronounced “toku” ). This is the notion that time is not something that accumulates in intervals shared between “I” and “you.” Rather, time unravels when “I” think about “you,” leading to the occurrence of time.
Attempting to be conscious of “unraveling time” was an idea I thought would be enjoyable for this LONGSTAY Program, so I shared it here. We may or may not meet in person between August and November 2021. While at present it is difficult to make promises to realize actions, PARADISE AIR will be leaving its schedule and rooms open, and we might as well listen to music while we wait.
*In the confusion caused by the coronavirus pandemic, this book has provided us at PARADISE AIR with clues about how to grasp the time and place in which we coexist with you. Since only a Japanese version has been published, we welcome those applying to expand their imaginations without reading the book.
