Right after its opening in 2001, Tokyo Wonder Site launched the "TWS-Emerging" series with the aim to foster young creators. In addition to this program for artists, a support program for aspiring planners (curators) was implemented in 2006, inviting young exhibition organizers to apply with concrete plans for art shows.
In the previous 4 rounds we received next to entries from planners (curators) also numerous exhibition proposals from artists planning exhibitions with their own participation. Many of those artists' selfproduced exhibition outlines were based on innovative ideas for types of art beyond existing genres.
We announce you three exhibition plans selected for the spring of next year.

Date:  October 22 (Thu.) , 2009
