The “Mame” Exhibition is an exhibition organized as part of the second-year practical course Site-Specific Exhibition in the Media Art Course, Department of Information Design.

For this exhibition, each student selected a single location within the Tama Art University campus and created an original work starting from the specific qualities of that site. A total of 17 works are installed across various locations on campus, intersecting with the everyday paths and movements of campus life. As we walk, pause, wander, and rediscover the campus, each place offers us new sensations and ways of thinking. The works are nurtured within the campus, return to their chosen sites, and are seen and felt once again in those places.
“Mame,” meaning “bean,” symbolizes a small seed that has fallen somewhere on campus—receiving light and wind, footsteps and the rhythm of time, and growing into a form unique to that location.
Each work embodies careful observation of everyday spaces, an understanding of site-specificity, and the lived sensations of campus life.

We invite visitors to stroll through the campus and, as if picking up small “beans” scattered along the roadside, gently gather and experience the subtle awareness and quiet moments contained within each work.
