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 […]

We were on May 12th, the Spring session of the Setouchi Triennale 2019 had just started its second half, and the end was in the distance already. Time to finally go to Megijima. It’s no secret that Megijima is far from being my favorite island of the area for a […]
Thanks to the Setouchi Triennale, you get to see great art, visit awesome islands, have a lot of fun overall. And also, you get to meet great people. This year, among them, is Xiang Yang and wonderful artist and human being whom I had the chance to spend time with […]
The day was May 7th. It was the first day post Golden Week, my sixth day spent on an island for the Setouchi Triennale 2019, including my third on Ogijima (yes, this Spring session, was Ogijima-heavy indeed, but my life is Ogijima-heavy, so it makes sense…). Finally, the crowds were […]
On our fifth day visiting an island for the Setouchi Triennale 2019, we returned to Ogijima for a very special occasion. See, the Setouchi Triennale is not just art exhibits, museums, and installations. It’s also about events, big and small. Sometimes it’s a concert, sometimes it’s a unique performance that’s […]

I’m talking about Taiwanese artist Lin Shuen […]
For our fourth day attending the Setouchi Triennale 2019 (which was really our third day, remember, I twisted the timeline a little) we returned to Shodoshima. We had to, we had left the car there two days prior. We hopped on the ferry to Ikeda Port on the morning of […]
During the Spring session of the Setouchi Triennale 2019 that just ended, many people asked me details on how the Three-Day Ferry Pass worked. While I always try to answer personal e-mails in a timely manner, having the information here on the blog, is always a better option for both […]
For this third part of my adventures in the Setouchi Triennale 2019, we’re heading to my favorite place in the area if not in Japan: Ogijima. Before we go any further, if you haven’t done so, please read the previous episodes: Part One: Shodoshima Part Two: Shamijima (and Seijima) The […]
There are only 10 days left in the Spring session of the Setouchi Triennale 2019, so it’s not too late to tell you about Madeleine Flynn‘s & Tim Humphrey‘s art on Shamijima. Or rather, have them talk about it. They were very kind to answer my question right before the […]
