Who we are 私たちについて
6okkenは、河口湖・大石の6棟の家を拠点に、現代美術・建築・写真・デザイン・編集など領域の異なる8名で運営する、アーティスト・ラン・レジデンスです。2022年の発足以来、滞在制作プログラムの運営、アートプロジェクトの主催、合宿型ワークショップ、地域や大学との連携を続けてきました。
6okken is an artist-run residency based in six houses in Oishi, on the north shore of Lake Kawaguchi. Eight members, across contemporary art, architecture, photography, design and editing, run it together. Since 2022 we have hosted residencies, organised art projects and camp-style workshops, and worked with the region and its universities.
Started in 2022; incorporated in 2023.
More than 50 artists from over 22 countries have stayed with us so far; our annual gatherings bring together some 150 practitioners from Japan and abroad.

A solidarity of artists 態度による連帯
私たちは"アーティスト"を、"自らが手放せばこの世から消えてしまう視点や動機に、向き合い続ける態度"と定義してみます。職業は関係ありません。
この態度は、生き方を支えるものです。そして、互いに影響を与えあい、更新を繰り返すものでもあります。作品や制作活動、そして表現の分野すら超えて、その人の生き方そのもので社会と接続する。"アーティスト"による連帯を、経済的・社会的に持続可能な形で拡げていくことを目指します。
We define an "artist" as an attitude: the attitude of staying with the viewpoints and motivations that would vanish from this world if let go. Profession has nothing to do with it.
This attitude carries a life. It is also shaped between people, renewed again and again. Beyond artworks, beyond practice, beyond fields of expression, it connects a person to society through the way they live itself. Our aim is to grow this solidarity of artists in a form that can sustain itself, economically and socially.
