Internship Open Studio 2025

PARADISE AIR hosted an open studio featuring international interns who stayed and learned at the residency program.

Three interns from Tainan University of Technology, Taiwan, came to Japan as interns and spent one month living at PARADISE AIR. During their stay, they experienced the artist-in-residence program while also developing their own creative practices.

The open studio was held on the same day as the annual art festival, Matsudo International Science Art Festival. For three days, the first floor of Tomosuba was used as the venue, allowing PARADISE AIR to step outside its usual space. Experimental works, creative processes, and insights that emerged through the residency were shared with the public. The event attracted many visitors from the art festival and created a lively atmosphere.

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.
