先導的展示会

Art/Literary
Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
The sentence is 興味深いものとなりうる作品数を絞った先導的展示会. It's also used in 世界的には評価が定まっているが、日本では未知のものの紹介（先導的展示）, as opposed to すでに評価の定まっている作家・時代の念押し（主導的展示） and 世界的にも評価が定まっていない展示（先端的）. Is there are a particular word that's used for this, or is it just 'leading.' Somehow that doesn't make sense to me.
Thank you for any help!

Naikei Wong
: pilot is good! To me, this would be close in meaning with "exploratory"

Maynard Hogg
: I like the idea of "introductory" meaning "introduce new stuff," but the archetypical meaning is 初歩的 "mickey-mouse," "watered down"--NOT what is intended.

Comment: "I like pilot... but ended up using Introductory, which went better with context. Thank you all!"

Can Altinbay
: I don't know where in the question there is anything to imply that it is a preview of anything. I think pioneering is OK, premiere may work.

i.e., a preview introducing something not already widely known to the attendees.

I missed this sentence: 世界的には評価が定まっているが、日本では未知のものの紹介（先導的展示）
…a pioneering exhibition to showcase works that have been critically acclaimed worldwide but have remained obscure in Japan.
…an exploratory exhibition to showcase works that have been critically acclaimed worldwide but have remained obscure in Japan.
…an innovative exhibition to showcase works that have been critically acclaimed worldwide but have remained obscure in Japan.
The first two are similar in meaning.

Overall, I think the words "exploratory" and “pilot” are good candidates…. The word “pilot”, however, is usually paired with terms like “tests”, “programs”, etc.... Invariably, a pilot "something" is smaller in scale than the “real” thing. The word itself also suggests some degree of tentativeness and need for modifications.
exploratory
adjective
in order to discover more about something:
e.g. an exploratory expedition to Antarctica
e.g. She's having some exploratory tests done to find out what's causing the illness.
e.g. We're having an exploratory meeting next week to talk about (= a meeting in order to examine) the possibility of merging the two companies.
pilot (TEST)
adjective [before noun]
describes a plan, product or system that is used to test how good something is before introducing it:
e.g. If the UK pilot scheme/US pilot program is successful many more homes will be offered the new television service.

Thanks, mstkwasa! I'll heed that. Perhaps I'm too used to the Chinese formums, which take the rules more loosely and there's no modulator over there actually. Cheers

: Exposition ? I believe this is in museum setting (based on asker's another question). See the difference?

I don't see much of a difference between exposition and introductory exhibition.I answered this before the second question was posted.
