CPUE

　CPUE (Curatorial Practice in the Urban Environment)is one of the seminars in the department of Art Science at Tama Art University. Under the instruction of this department’s Professor Yuko Hasegawa, who also serves as chief curator at The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, we students learn how to plan, organize, and manage an exhibition in a practical manner – we select the venue and artists, set a theme, and manage PR activities and the budget. Our goal is to create a place for people to encounter art in collaboration with artists by being engaged in organizing and curating a real exhibition in the city.
