It has started! On Friday, April 26th. I mean the Setouchi Triennale 2019, of course. However, as it was a Friday and I couldn’t escape from work (why didn’t the festival start on a holiday or a weekend as it did the previous years? no idea), I missed that first […]

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 […]
Mmmm… The white rabbit has stricken again. That’s the thing, it’s hard to spend most of your free time attending the Setouchi Triennale and to blog about it at the same time. Add to that a new job (that I love) and a new schedule to adjust to, and […]
The cherry blossoms are finally in bloom in Takamatsu! I hope that they’ll stay that way until next week-end at least so that I can go take some nice pictures here and there. In the meantime, I hope you’ll like this picture taken on Shodoshima last year. […]
Today’s Setouchi Triennale 2013 artwork brings us to Hitoyama, small village located in a small valley in the heart of Shōdoshima. Actually, when you’re there, you almost forget you are on an island, the place being surrounded by hills and mountains. I’d like to take the time to visit […]
I don’t like it much when people say “sorry I haven’t posted a lot on my blog lately” but… sorry I haven’t posted a lot on my blog lately… Who knew that having a baby was so time consuming? Sooner or later, I will find a rhythm that’ll […]
We were on May 25th, 2009 and it was our last full day in Takamatsu, except that we didn’t spend it in Takamatsu, as we took the ferry in the morning to Shōdoshima (小豆島). There are a lot of interesting things on Shōdoshima, however, as it’s a much larger island […]
Here is an artwork that kinda left me wondering. It is called Giant in Our Minds (心の巨人) by Tatsuo Kawaguchi. I’m not sure how to talk about it except by rephrasing what the Setouchi International Art Festival 2010‘s official guide had to say. That is that when Mr. Kawaguchi entered […]
Back on Shōdoshima, there was this artwork called Lightening Shōdoshima (小豆島を輝かせる) that was composed of several projects and pieces spread over the villages of Hitoyama and Nakayama. Those projects were lead by Sense Art Studio, an artist group coming from Hong Kong. Here are their page (that has a great […]
Located on Shōdoshima, almost in the middle of nowhere, on the side of a path between Hitoyama and Nakayama, What Links the Sea (海を繋ぐもの), by Yoshihiko Tanji (丹治 嘉彦), is an artwork that leaves me wondering.
