The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston and the Van Every/Smith Galleries at Davidson College organized these exhibitions and the residency program. Co-curators Mark Sloan and Brad Thomas traveled to Japan in the fall of 2003 with the purpose of identifying artists whose work fit their criteria for Force of Nature, especially artists whose work represented a sustained engagement with the human/nature dialectic. Utilizing a curatorial network of Japanese curators, gallerists, and academics, Sloan and Thomas were able to gain access to some of the most original and provocative artists living in Japan today.
