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 […]
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. 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 […]
These days, I’m celebrating a very special anniversary. That is the 10th anniversary of my first visit to Japan. And more precisely, last week was the 10th anniversary of my first visit to Ogijima! In case you missed it back then, here is the tale of my very first visit […]
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 […]
