SAPPORO INTERNATIONAL ART FESTIVAL

DOMMUNE is an Internet streaming broadcast station that was established in March 2010 and has been streaming talks and live DJ performances to approximately 10,000 viewers per time, reaching total viewer numbers of over 50 million around the world. Ukawa Naohiro, the mastermind of DOMMUNE, calls the filming, broadcasting and recording of programs in the DOMMUNE studio his own “Genzai (just now) art” work.

100 Japanese Contemporary Artists is a project of DOMMUNE that started in 2014, and an autobiographical interview program to reveal the personal histories of 100 Japanese contemporary artists. In SIAF2017, Season 5 of this interview series will be shown at two venues. DOMMUNE SAPPORO!, a satellite studio, will open at the CAI02 gallery in Odori Nishi 5-chome, where the broadcasting of the program and an exhibition are planned. On the first basement floor of the Hokusen Plaza Sano Building in Susukino, a space in pink that was once a hostess bar will be used to display unique exhibits.

In the days ahead, interviews with artists for Season 5 will be recorded and distributed in Tokyo and Sapporo and these videos and the artists’ works will be shown in SIAF2017.

With the cooperation of: YAMAMOTO GENDAI
