Internship Open Studio 2025

We are pleased to announce an Open Studio by the international internship students currently staying at PARADISE AIR.

Three graduate students from Tainan University of Technology in Taiwan have been staying in Matsudo for a month, experiencing life at an artist-in-residence program while developing their own creative projects.
The open studio will take place over three days, alongside the Matsudo International Science Art Festival. The venue will be the first floor of “Tomosuba (Honcho Yashima Residence),” where the interns will share what has emerged through their residency experience, including creative experiments, reflections, and processes developed during their time at PARADISE AIR.
During the event, a free Taiwanese Tea Time will be offered from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM each day. After visiting the art festival, please feel free to stop by and enjoy a cup of tea while experiencing the interns’ evolving works.

Lin Yu-fang (Victoria)

I am an artist from Tainan, Taiwan, specializing in ceramics. My work focuses on exploring the relationship between the imagery of “circle” and “landscape.” By combining paper and pottery—softness and hardness, the fleeting and the permanent—I seek to merge contrasting materials and qualities. In October 2025, I stayed at Paradise Air in Matsudo for an internship and artistic exchange, presenting my impressions of autumn in Japan through my own perspective.

Lee Yu-Po (Jack)

During my residency in Japan, my project Observation explores the concept of écart—the distance between the self and place. I see this distance not as separation, but as a subtle shift that opens up new ways of seeing. Through photography, I capture moments that arise from this tension, where something begins to breathe within movement and displacement.

Jen An Chiang (Sankakusui)

Fire is my first language. It once scarred me, yet I continue speaking with it.
In this work, I chose not to ignite it, but to let it echo through colder matter.
Plaster becomes glaze, and resin becomes heat held still.
Even without flame, I remain burning.

This event will be held on the same dates as the art festival below.
Please note that the starting and ending times may differ slightly.
