ネビュラの可能性
CAF.N の N は Nebula(ネビュラ)の頭文字で星雲の意味。アートの交流が渦巻き状に展開することと、充満したアートのエネルギーが新しい時代に生きる人たち届くことを願って名付けられました。現代美術のコンセプトと表現の問題を社会に問う運動を展開しつつ地域とアートの交流、さらに国際交流の方向性を中軸に位置付け、活動の密度を高めています。それは、一極集中の進歩発展的思考に見直しがかかり、個人や地域の独自性が求められている現在、地域のアートとは何か、アーティストの自由で純粋な思考が、硬直化した地域の現状を打破する糸口を生み出せるかもしれません。また海外の異なる文化状況の中で創作された作品に接する事によって新しい時代のパラダイムを探すためのヒントを見つけることができるのではと考え、ゲスト作家を国外から招聘することに力を入れてきました。その交流のなかで、昨年は多くの会員によるメキシコ展が実現し、そして本年はコロナ禍により作家の来日を断念しましたが、メキシコからの18名の作品の参加を得て『SAITAMA MEXICO 合流点』として"2020 CAFネビュラ展"を開催します。国際文化交流の成果がさらに拡大され、Nebula(ネビュラ)の益々の活性化が見られることでしょう。

"NEBULA"
The letter"N"in our name, CAF.N, stands for"nebula,"which reflects our wish for our art to develop and spread out widely, just like the spiral of a nebula in the sky. We ardently hope that our passion for our art will reach out to many people in this new age.
Since our establishment in 1978, while the name of our exhibitions has changed from Saitama Arts Festival to Contemporary Artists Festival (CAF, in its initial stage) and CAF (2nd stage), we raised social awareness of the expressions and concepts of contemporary art. We are also currently trying to make our activities more intensive through artistic interaction with the community, and positioning the direction of international exchange as an axiomatic part of our work.
This has led to a rethink of one-directional progress and development thinking, and in this present day in which the individuality of people and communities is sought, the question of what art in the community is and the free and pure thinking of artists may lead to the appearance of some clues for breaking down the ossified current state of communities. In addition, by encountering works of art that have been produced in overseas nations with different cultures we believe that it is possible for people to find hints for searching for paradigms in the new era, and are subsequently devoting our energies to inviting guest artists from overseas.
Thirty years have now passed since we first started to hold exhibitions. Examples include:
By means of projects such as these, CAF exhibitions were originally intended to raise social awareness of the expressions and concepts of contemporary art. The planning and managing of all the CAF exhibitions is done by the artists themselves.
