Project Objectives
This program aims to develop curators from the Mori Art Museum’s team—including coordinators and assistants—as well as emerging and mid-career curators from across Japan, through the planning and production of exhibitions, international tours, and symposia. The ultimate goal is to cultivate professionals capable of serving as artistic directors or producers at major international art festivals such as biennales and triennales. Through this process, the project also seeks to enhance the Mori Art Museum’s operational capacity and international reputation, thereby strengthening Japan’s ability to communicate contemporary culture to the world.
Project Approach
This project aims to nurture mid-career and young curators to the level of artistic directors or producers at international art festivals like triennials and biennials, while strengthening the museums that support their activities. It pursues these goals through two initiatives: architect Sou Fujimoto’s overseas touring exhibition and a curator development program.
