It was last summer, on July 21st, 2019 to be precise. The location was Megijima, on the grounds behind the old school, in front of the small shrine, near the campground, right next to the beach. It was my eleventh day at the Setouchi Triennale 2019, and the Seppuku Pistols […]
Setouchi Triennale 2019

Well, well, well… Those are crazy times, aren’t they? This Coronavirus pandemic puts me in a strange position with this blog (hence the lack of new posts recently). One of its goals is to make you want to come to Kagawa prefecture and visit the Setouchi islands. However, right now, […]
Today, we’re staying in Takamatsu (again, yes, I know that’s three posts in a row!) as I will show you some of the artworks that were available in town during the Setouchi Triennale 2019. Unfortunately, they were all temporary installations and are all gone now. Still, I thought that you […]
Now that the Setouchi Triennale 2019 is over, I paradoxically have more time to tell you about it and to show you all the things that I simply didn’t have time to show you while they were happening. I guess we can consider these posts as partly retrospective for those […]
So, that’s it. The Setouchi Triennale 2019 has ended. It’s been a long but great year with so many things happening. First of all, sorry for having been quiet on the blog for so long (probably the longest since I started it), but during the past two months, […]
Believe it or not, I hadn’t been to Oshima in six years! I mean, during the Setouchi Triennale, I actually went last winter. The problem with this island is that due to its very unique status, you don’t really go there to just hang out and have fun as you […]
Seeing how often I manage to update this blog at the moment, I came to the realization that if I want to cover as much ground as possible telling you about the Setouchi Triennale 2019, I’ll have to break away from chronological order, otherwise, I’ll only reach some destinations after […]
This post is a little different from the other Setouchi Triennale 2019 posts so far, as it doesn’t focus on one single day, but rather on one artist and his art. Namely, Xiang Yang and his amazing project on Shodoshima called: The Shore Where We Can Reach Xiang Yang’s […]
This small trip didn’t actually happen during the Setouchi Triennale 2019, but a few days before the opening of the summer session. On that day, I went to Shodoshima for a very specific reason in the morning (but that will be detailed most likely next post), and in the afternoon, […]
During my last trip to Shodoshima in July (the next one is planned for next weekend, by the way), I was hoping to maybe meet with Hans Op de Beeck who was putting the finishing touches to his new artwork for the Setouchi Triennale 2019. His installation is called The […]
