·Discussion about how the participants relate their own work and practises to the wider art world.
·The participants present the ideas they wish to develop and discuss how they can work within the framework of the laboratory. It is agreed to organise a one day tour of Tokyo. the places visited will be meaningful locations chosen by the participants for the in-situ development of their projects.

About curating: the role of the curator in this laboratory
For this laboratory, the curator is a collaborator, opposing any hierarchy in relation to the artists with whom she is working. The curator is not someone who merely selects, but contributes, taking part in the creative process, questioning and reflecting on the decisions made throughout the workshop.
The problem with curation is not that it mediates the reception of art (how could the reception of art not to be mediated?) but that it so often adopts a position of expertise in a way that implicitly asserts an authority over art. This is the assigned position of curation within the dominant modes of distribution for art: a practice that deals with cultural capital. But it is not the only possibility for curation. (...) A critically self-aware curation would have to entern into a mutual and dialogical relationship with artists. It might not even be clear that such practice was curation at all. Such practice would have to live with doubt and conflict.

Introduction to the project
The starting point of this project was when Youkobo Art Space asked me to think about a concept I would be interested in developing during my internship with them, with the goal of organising an exhibition or art event as its conclusion.

This is a laboratory of intensive exchange of experience and knowledge involving the participation of seven people: Annegien van Doorn (artist, Holland/Spain ), Verónica Luyo (artist, Peru/Spain) Yasuto Masumoto (artist, Japan), Kazuhiro Masuda (artist, Japan) Kanako Hayashi (artist, Japan), Jaime Humphreys (artist/curator, UK/Japan) and Marta Gracia (curator, Spain/ Japan).
Over the course of four meetings, the participants are exploring how they relate their own work and practises to the wider art world, while also exchanging different approaches and ways of working with the concept of everyday experience. The objective is to exchange ideas and experiences and work together using different approaches to produce a concrete art presentation.

Laboratory Framework
The framework of this workshop is based on:
1.Discussion
An exchange of art approaches, methods and creative processes among the participants.
2.Interaction
How the various art approaches of the participants in the laboratory can work together
3.Communication
How it is possible to transmit the interaction of those approaches in a meaningful form to an audience

good thought. to abandon the hierarchies completely i propose that artists become curators and art historians as well. but that never really gonna happen in the established field of bourgeoise art practice closely related to capitalism and private property.
