「臺北東區故事」為策展人高森信男與忠泰美術館團隊共同發展的小型研究計畫，內容嘗試用簡明易懂的方式敘述「東區」戰後迄今的發展史。
「東區」這個模糊的概念不僅是忠泰美術館的所在地，亦是戰後臺灣對於現代生活想像的錨定空間。從首家超級市場、首家麥當勞，到首條捷運，這座象徵著全球化現代生活的都會空間究竟如何興起？未來又將前往何處？
「臺北東區故事是你我的故事，持續建構中，歡迎在觀眾問卷分享屬於你的故事。」

Stories of the Eastern District of Taipei is a micro-research project collaboratively launched by curator Nobuo Takamori and the Jut Art Museum team. The project seeks to chronicle the development of Taipei’s “Eastern District” from the post-war era to the present day in a lucid manner.
The ambiguous concept of the “Eastern District” not only indicates the physical location of the Jut Art Museum but also serves as the spatial anchor for post-war Taiwan’s imagination of modern life. From the establishment of Taipei’s first supermarket and McDonald’s to the first Taipei Metro line, how did this metropolitan space—a symbol of modern, globalized life—come into being? And where is it heading in the future?
“Stories of the Eastern District of Taipei are stories of you and me — ever unfolding, always in the making. We welcome you to share your story in the visitor questionnaire.”
