The Mercedes-Benz Art Scope is a cultural and artistic support program of Mercedes-Benz Japan launched in 1991 and ongoing for 30 years. Until now, the program has supported 35 young Japanese and European artists centering on an "artist-in-residence" program in which artists stay overseas for about three months and explore new expression. From 2022, in addition to this artist-in-residence program, we will organize workshops between Japanese students and artists, online presentations by artists, and exhibitions by artists who have participated in the program in the past. Through these multifaceted programs, we aim to nurture young artists and support the progress of culture and art.

Tsuyoshi Hisakado
Born in Kyoto in 1981, Tsuyoshi Hisakado completed his M.F.A. at the Department of Sculpture, Kyoto City University of Arts in 2007. With an interest in the fundamental sensibility and uniqueness/eternity that constitute human activity, Hisakado creates conceptual works using a variety of methods and media, including sound, light, programming, sculpture, painting and large-scale installations. The artist hopes that his works resonate with the viewer's memories and imaginations and sharpens their visual and auditory senses. In 2020, Hisakado held his first museum-scale solo exhibition at the Toyota Municipal Museum of Art, Japan. Hisakado was elected the East Asian Cultural Exchange Envoy and has been awarded the 'Mercedes-Benz Art Scope 2018-2020', the Audience Award at the 'NISSAN ART AWARD 2015', and the Grand Prize of the 'VOCA 2016 The Vision of Contemporary Art'.
