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 […]
This year I had decided to blog about my Setouchi Triennale 2019 visits in chronological order, and as early as my second post about it, I’m throwing a wrench into it. See, I’ve been quite busy and I also caught a nasty cold (my son has started preschool; random nasty […]
Golden Week has come and gone, and some Setouchi Triennale attendance records may have been broken. Finally, there’s some time to breathe and to blog. Today I want to introduce an artist whose art is located on Shamijima, which means that it will only be available for the Spring Session […]

On the Setouchi islands, the Setouchi Triennale 2019 preparations have been everywhere. I’ve also been busy writing about the Triennale in other places. Oh, and I’m starting […]
Last weekend was a pretty busy one. Four islands were visited in two days. Oshima, Megijima, and Ogijima on Saturday, Shodoshima on Sunday. The reason was a preview of a certain number of the Setouchi Triennale 2019 new artworks’ sites. Why? With whom? How did I manage three islands in […]
Every time a new edition of the Setouchi Triennale is around the corner, one of the “traditions” of this blog is to interview a few of the artists who are taking part in the festival. This year, it’s Sarah Westphal who kindly answered my questions first. We briefly met last […]
One of the most common questions I get from people asking me for information about the Setouchi Triennale is where they should stay during their time visiting the art festival, what place is best to use as a ‘base’? Usually, there are three possible answers coming to mind at first: […]
