[Workshop]
"The Sketchbook as an Archive"
By Inês Miguel Oliveira (Portugal)

When: August 22 (Sat) 2:00-3:30pm
Where: AIR 3331 Residence & Studio
https://residence.3331.jp/en/access/
Entry: Free (the artist will provide materials)
RSVP by Aug. 19 (Wed): [email protected] (Name, Number of participants)

The workshop invites participants to make a one-page zine that will be used as an archive of collected materials, taken directly or indirectly from nature. In my artistic practice, the sketchbook acts as an archive of drawings, symbols, thoughts, characters and observations, which are then reconfigured in my paintings. Participants are invited to delve into my creative process by creating a miniature sketchbook through the one-page zine method and then producing a larger-scale work based on their archive.

“To Eat the Sun” playfully imagines the sun as an entity that can be ingested, whilst standing as a metaphor for home and belonging. It embodies a desire to reconnect with one’s origins, whilst simultaneously confronting the strangeness and instability of memory. Within the works, this symbol evolves and multiplies, generating new characters and visual metaphors that blur the boundaries between the personal and the mythical.

“To Eat the Sun” marks Inês Miguel Oliveira’s first exhibition in Japan, and will represent the results of her residency at Air 3331.

A work-in-progress exhibition and open studio sharing new pieces developed during my residency at AIR 3331 and time at Midori.so.

Over the past weeks, I have been experimenting with risograph printing, screen printing, and indigo dyeing, responding to Tokyo's architecture alongside its everyday nature — flowers, leaves, and plant life found across the city.

On show are prints, dyed textiles, and studies gathered along the way: material and ideas rather than a finished collection. The work will keep developing back in Savannah, Georgia, culminating in a full exhibition this November.

At 3331 (CommandA), we operate AIR3331, an artist-in-residence program that welcomes artists from around the world to the heart of Tokyo.

We are pleased to welcome artist Jules Soroa from the Basque Country, Spain, who is currently in residence with us.

Jules Soroa is an artist based between Madrid and the Basque Country and is currently pursuing studies in the arts. Since the beginning of their artistic practice, the natural world and close observation of its forms have served as a fundamental source of inspiration. Their work spans a wide range of media, including oil painting, ceramics, photography, charcoal drawing, watercolor, video art, and animation.

During the residency, Jules is developing a new body of work titled MURUMENDIKO DAMA, MARI-SAMA. The project explores parallels between Basque and Japanese mythology through a series of drawings, seeking to create a new space for dialogue by connecting the cultural narratives of both regions. Working primarily with watercolor and pastel, Jules will also present the results of the residency in an exhibition during the latter half of the program.

Current Artist-in-Residence

At 3331 (CommandA), we operate AIR3331, an artist-in-residence program that welcomes artists from around the world to the heart of Tokyo.

We are currently hosting Dutch artist Erwin Verkade ().

Erwin's practice explores new material possibilities by combining resin with traditional Japanese pigments such as mineral pigments (iwa-enogu), gofun (powdered oyster shell), and nikawa (animal glue), and integrating them with traditional Japanese materials including washi paper.

The theme of his current residency focuses on embedding elements of space, time, and memory directly into the material itself. To realize this concept, he is currently engaged in an intensive process of experimentation and prototyping.

During the residency, Erwin will present an exhibition showcasing the outcomes of his research and production. Further details will be announced soon, so stay tuned!

■ Erwin Verkade


Based in The Hague, the Netherlands, Erwin Verkade is a visual artist whose work explores the relationships between space, time, and memory through a quiet and contemplative visual language.

Balancing abstraction and representation, his works employ minimal forms to evoke landscapes that oscillate between observation and recollection. Influenced by Japanese aesthetics and ukiyo-e, his artistic practice emphasizes harmony, rhythm, and stillness.

(This is Erwin Verkade’s second residency at AIR3331, following his participation in 2025.)
