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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Today’s Setouchi Triennale artist interview is quite special, first because it’s an interview of a “veteran” of the festival (I usually tend to interview newcomers), and also, because he’s one of my favorite artists of the Triennale, and he has been since 2013.

Today, I’m gonna tell you about the nerdiest thing I have done related to the Setouchi Islands, and probably one of the nerdiest things in my life. See, when I first started visiting the islands 10 years ago, for some reason (I forgot what it was) I started counting how […]
As the title says, I wish you all a very happy new year 2019. Yesterday, on the actual New Year’s Day, I did my favorite activity on that day, that is I stayed at home. Meanwhile, most Japanese people tend to go to the shrine for Hatsumode (literally “the first […]
