Today’s post is both a retrospective and a preview for a Setouchi Triennale artwork.. I’m going to briefly tell you about Shodoshima Island Lab, a project made by an Osaka-based collective called Graf. I really liked it in 2013, and I’m quite glad it’s returning this year, although […]

Looking for an online guide for Shodoshima with practical information about the island, how to get there, what to do and more? May I advise Hinomaple’s Shodoshima Guide for the Setouchi Triennale?
Today, We’re starting our series of interviews for the Setouchi Triennale 2016… At last…. (yes, I know I’m a bit late, I was hoping to have some ready for the Spring session, but I’ve been busier than expected with too many things). We’re starting with Pors & Rao, two artists whose […]

Anger from the Bottom is an installation by “Beat” Takeshi Kitano and Kenji Yanobe that is part of Art Setouchi and the Setouchi Triennale. It is located in the village of Sakate, in the South-eastern part of Shodoshima.
Light of Shodoshima (小豆島の光) by Taiwanese artist Wen-Chih Wang was one of the most impressive artworks from the Setouchi Triennale 2013.
