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 […]

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 […]
These are some extremely busy times. At the university, the academic year has just started. At home, my son has just started preschool. 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 […]

It’s often the same problem during the Setouchi Triennale, I’m too busy to blog. Of course, every day that turns out to be a free day is used to visit some art, and then at night, I’m just too tired to write anything. This time, add to that the fact that […]
At the end of October, a certain number of artworks from the current session of Art Setouchi will close. What I call the “current session” is basically all the time that passed after the end of the Setouchi International Art Festival 2010 and the Setouchi Triennale 2013 and during […]
Not a lot a to say about Haruki Takahashi‘s Sea Vine except that it is the first “artwork in a house and on an island” that I saw on Ogijima. I know, it may sound weird to see that as a detail worth mentioning, but the Setouchi International Art […]
Sorry, I couldn’t be back yesterday as previously mentioned, some connection problems made my life hell yesterday and I couldn’t post. Now everything works (thanks for LAN cables) and I can finally start telling you about my adventures in the Setouchi International Art Festival. Of course, yesterday, the first […]
