The Setouchi Triennale 2016 ended two and half months ago. It’s winter. Most remaining artworks are closed until the Spring. Preparations for the Setouchi Triennale 2019 are no more than some thoughts and ideas at the moment. However, I was given some documents debriefing the festival. It’s all in Japanese, […]

First of all, I want to wish everyone a very happy new year 2017. The blog is returning to its regular “schedule” after a small break (actually I didn’t “abandon” for the past couple of weeks, I did some behind the scenes changes which, I hope, will make it faster […]
Good news! I went to Takamatsu Sunport last week (I can’t believe I hadn’t really been since the end of the Setouchi Triennale) and Lin Shuen Long‘s amazing artwork, Beyond the Border – the Ocean is still standing. I wasn’t sure what would happen to it, and I […]
This week, one of the most moving artworks of the Setouchi Triennale 2016 was dismantled, and it made me really sad. Sure, it never was meant to be permanent, it’s somewhat short lifespan was actually part of the whole point, but I don’t know, I wish it would have […]

Earlier this week, I told you about Team Ogi’s Boat Dance for the last day of the Setouchi Triennale 2016, now let’s get to the very end of the art festival, with the departure of the last ferry from Ogijima and then the official Closing Ceremony itself. I have […]
Sunday was the last day of the Setouchi Triennale 2016, and of course, like a lot of days this year, it started with Meon approaching Takamatsu Sunport. The destination was Ogijima. Where else? The first hour on the island was mostly spent having early lunch and chatting with […]
