Well, well, well… Those are crazy times, aren’t they? This Coronavirus pandemic puts me in a strange position with this blog (hence the lack of new posts recently). One of its goals is to make you want to come to Kagawa prefecture and visit the Setouchi islands. However, right now, […]

Today, we’re staying in Takamatsu (again, yes, I know that’s three posts in a row!) as I will show you some of the artworks that were available in town during the Setouchi Triennale 2019. Unfortunately, they were all temporary installations and are all gone now. Still, I thought that you […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Lin Shuen Long‘s Beyond the Border – the Ocean is still standing in Takamatsu Sunport. You can’t enter it at the moment (only during the Setouchi Triennale) but you can walk around it and admire it as much as you want. It should still be around next year, but […]
Beyond the Border – Tide, the beautiful and haunting work by Lin Shuen Long on Shodoshima during the Setouchi Triennale 2016. (click the link above for more detail)
Good news! I went to Takamatsu Sunport last week (I can’t believe I hadn’t really been since the end of the Setouchi Triennale) and Lin Shuen Long‘s amazing artwork, Beyond the Border – the Ocean is still standing. I wasn’t sure what would happen to it, and I […]
This week, one of the most moving artworks of the Setouchi Triennale 2016 was dismantled, and it made me really sad. Sure, it never was meant to be permanent, it’s somewhat short lifespan was actually part of the whole point, but I don’t know, I wish it would have […]
