It may be a bit difficult to talk about Kinza, probably the most inaccessible building from the Art House Project on Naoshima. Even more so because I won’t be able to show you what it looks like. Let’s try anyway. Kinza, as I’ve just mentioned, is part of the Art House

    263,014! That is the approximate number of people who attended the Spring Session of the Setouchi Triennale. That’s 25% more than during the same period (the first 33 days) in 2010, although I’m not sure one can compare as those 33 days were in July and August back

  That’s it. The Spring session of the Setouchi Triennale 2013 has ended yesterday. I don’t have any official feedback about number of visitors and such, I’ll give them to you as soon as I get them, but overall it seems that everyone was very happy. Myself included as, after

  A little more than a month ago, I went to Shamijima and met with Yasuaki Igarashi (五十嵐靖晃) who showed me a preview of his work for the Setouchi Triennale 2013, that is Sora-Ami: Knitting the Sky (そらあみ). So of course, I returned as soon as possible after the triennale

  I must hurry to write this post before it’s too late as the Spring session of the Setouchi Triennale ends in two weeks (already!) and while you’ll sill be able to enjoy art on most of the islands (not mentioning the new islands during the other sessions), art on

  Today, I want to right a wrong. I never told you about Uchiwa Bone House, an amazing artwork that Takashi Nishibori (西堀隆史) did for the 2010 edition of the Setouchi Triennale. I hope to still do it one day as last fall I found out by surprise that the work

  And here we go, the Setouchi Triennale 2013 is underway; officially since last Wednesday, and personally since last Sunday when I spent the day on Ogijima. For the past few weeks, I’ve received a few e-mails and comments asking me for advice and tips about the Setouchi Triennale. While, I like

    Yesterday, I visited Inujima for the first time. I’ll tell you all about it soon (right now, I’m spending my few days of vacations as much as possible away from my computer, but that won’t last). Today, I’m going back to Shamijima to see all the art completed

    Today was the opening day of the Setouchi Triennale 2013! It happened in the rain, and I didn’t attend any event because I had to work (bad timing), but worry not, I have a few days of vacation next week and you know where I’ll spend them.  

  After two pretty tiring weeks at work (and the upcoming one may also be along those lines), the best thing to do this past Sunday was to go spend the day to Ogijima. So we hoped on Meon at the first occasion and there we were. I have seen

  For this second part of my series on the Setouchi Triennale 2013 preparations, I’m bringing you to Shamijima. Actually, while I had seen and been intrigued by Shamijima during one of my very first days in Japan four years ago, last Monday was my very first visit of this island that

  Today’s preview interview for the Setouchi Triennale 2013 is with Véronique Joumard, who is one of the two French artists who will take part in the Triennale (the other one being choreographer Didier Théron).   1. For starters, can you tell us a little bit about yourself? I’m a

  Yesterday, despite the rain, I got together with my friend Cathy Hirano and her friend Ando-san, to start our tour of some of the islands to see the preparations for the Setouchi Triennale which starts in almost a month.   Takamatsu Station plaza, on Monday morning, under the rain. Must

  Today, the artist I’m interviewing is Arthur Huang, whom I’ve “met” online a few months ago (before we go any further with this post, I must mention his blog where he details the whole process and evolution of his project for the Setouchi Triennale) and who share the same
