EP 1: La música de la arcilla (En la Azotea / April 2025)

"Carlos Runcie Tanaka nos habla de su proceso artístico, su música, sus trabajo en Japón, Italia, su experiencia como rehén de la Embajada de Japón y hasta cómo Lenny Kravitz se volvió su fan.”

Online Artist Conversation (San Antonio Museum of Art / November 2021)

“Enjoy an intimate, casual evening of conversation between artist Carlos Runcie Tanaka, featured in "No Ocean Between Us," and Lucía Abramovich-Sánchez, Associate Curator of Latin American Art.”

Sanzu: La nueva instalación de Carlos Runcie Tanaka (Revista Cosas / September 2016)

“Una corriente de papel recorre las salas 770 y Raúl Porras Barrenechea del C.C. Ricardo Palma. Sus contorsiones y retorcimientos hablan de la memoria, del presente y del devenir, pero también de la muerte, un tema que no es ajeno a la obra del artista peruano.”

Walter O. Runcie Photographic Archives (AFWOR) website

Originally shaped by Carlos, in stewardship of his grandfather Walter O. Runcie, this website represents a rich twentieth-century photographic archive, with particular relevance to Peru.

It also holds broader significance within the histories of aviation and photography, and remains an archival reference.
