Conceptual art studio Wachajack and creative school Voxel School have set up a laboratory to foster collaboration between students at the Madrid institution and Japanese artists. Following an agreement being signed at the end of October, this initiative was launched on 1 February with the aim of generating creative innovation.

The laboratory is located at the Voxel School facilities in Madrid. Students will be able to attend lectures on conceptual art and participate in projects. This practical training will contribute to improving their conceptual art skills and generating new opportunities to expand their careers internationally. It will be complemented by a platform where Japanese and Spanish artists will be able to interact and inspire each other, with the aim of creating new styles and trends.

Spanish and European market
The Voxel School is affiliated with the University of Deusto and is used to forming strategic partnerships with companies to nurture new talent and support the entertainment industry. The new laboratory will help Wachajack to grow its business in the Spanish and European markets. It will in addition develop works and projects that fuse Japanese and Spanish culture, as well as artistic styles from both countries, and disseminate them around the world.

Conceptual art studio Wachajack produces everything from games to films, commercials, music videos and virtual reality spaces, as well as other formats. Executive Director Fujihiko Sawai, said, “As a bridge between Spain and Japan, we would like to accelerate creativity in both countries and work with young artists to bring new entertainment to the world. I hope that this exchange will be a place for learning and creativity, and I would like to express my sincere thanks for giving me such a valuable opportunity.”

Voxel School's CEO, José Manuel Cuesta Martínez, did in turn say that Wachajack is “the perfect partner to propel the talents of our conceptual art students towards their professional future”, and explained that this partnership “further strengthens our educational model, where students gain practical experience while collaborating with large international companies during their learning process. This is great news for the Spanish artistic community, and we are grateful that a studio like Wachajack has chosen us as a place to grow. We will do everything we can to make this project a great success.”
