About this audio guide
This guide to the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum follows the museum's artist residency program, where visitors find artists still living and working a few floors above the galleries. It centers on Kamimura Takahiro, who spent the second half of 2024 drilling real holes into his seventh-floor studio wall, chasing an idea he called an alternative circuit. You will hear how the residency program began in 1999, and what a class of elementary schoolers did to his studio on their way through.
