Althe Artist Residency is an artist-in-residence program launched jointly by Vacant and Roche Projects. Artists from Japan and abroad are invited to stay at Vacant/Centre to conduct research to deepen their knowledge on Japanese culture, produce works, and present the results of their work.
The first artist is Magdalena Skupinska from Poland, who is currently based in London. She paints abstract compositions from purely organic materials derived from herbs, spices, flowers, fruit, and vegetables. The exhibition Aftertime features her encounters and experimentations with Japanese flora and botanical materials and the dynamic hues they create.










Magic Hour
Magic Hour , taking name from a fleeting moment before sunset, when the world seems to be infused with an otherworldly glow. Just as the magic hour blurs the line between day and night, this exhibition blurs the boundaries between cultures. Through the works of two young Japanese artists and Los Angeles-based ceramicists, Magic Hour created a space for dialogue and connection, illuminating the power of art to bridge divides and bringing us all together.
February 10 - 20, 2023 (by appointment)

Magic Hour takes it name from a fleeting moment before sunset, when the world seems to be infused with an otherworldly glow. Just as the magic hour blurs the line between day and night, this exhibition blurs the boundaries between cultures. Through the works of two young Japanese artists and a mix of Los Angeles-based ceramicists, Magic Hour created a space for dialogue and connection, illuminating the power of art to bridge divides and bring us all together.
